These destructive policies, including the fast track law, have become one of the trademarks of his first year in office.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cLuxon\u2019s relentless War on Nature burns the natural capital of Aotearoa for short term GDP growth,\u201d says Dr Russel Norman, Greenpeace Aotearoa Executive Director.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe quick sugar hit of more coal mines, more polluted rivers, more gas guzzling cars and more climate pollution might produce a short term GDP hit, but it will destroy the natural capital of Aotearoa and leave us poorer.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSince being elected, Luxon has waged a war on nature to allow big polluters &#8211; the dairy, fossil fuel, fishing, and mining industries &#8211; to wreak havoc on New Zealand\u2019s environment, removing local communities\u2019 right to have a say on developments in their backyards.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWhat makes New Zealand such an amazing place to live is nature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cMoreover, what attracts talented people to New Zealand is nature, and those people are critical to our economic success, especially in the service sector.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cOur export industries are built on protecting the natural environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cInternational tourists come here for nature, not coal mines. The green movement&#8217;s successes in protecting nature over the decades is the \u2018infrastructure\u2019 of international tourism.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cOur export food industries rely on the perception of \u2018clean green New Zealand\u2019, a perception that the Luxon Government daily tarnishes with its anti environment policies. New Zealand businesses will face increasing scrutiny for their green claims.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAlready our free trade agreements with the EU and the UK are being put at risk by Luxon\u2019s anti-environment policies, as confirmed by the leaked advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt is remarkable that the clean up costs of one contaminated coal mine are greater than the full year royalties paid by the coal industry to the government. Luxon\u2019s new coal mines are liabilities not assets,\u201d says Dr Norman.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cPassing on a series of toxic waste dumps and a scarred landscape will make us all poorer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cPeople are unhappy with a Government that is radically anti-environment. Already people are responding by taking to the streets, the courts, and putting their bodies on the line to prevent big polluters from destroying the places we hold dear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cGreenpeace and others will fight Luxon\u2019s War on Nature because it is the right thing to do but also because it is the economically sensible thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>A full list of the first year of Luxon\u2019s War on Nature can be found <a
