Greenpeace is holding a rally outside Environment Canterbury on the council\u2019s final sitting day before elections, to bring nitrate-contaminated drinking water directly to the regional council.<\/p>\n\n

The rally will take place on September 17th at 9:30am outside Environment Canterbury\u2019s Christchurch headquarters. Greenpeace is asking participants to bring a jar of their drinking water with them.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace spokesperson Will Appelbe says “Environment Canterbury are burying their heads in the sand and expecting that Canterbury\u2019s drinking water crisis will magically resolve itself – but the reality is, fixing water pollution is Environment Canterbury\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n\n

“That\u2019s why on September 17th, we\u2019ll be delivering nitrate contaminated drinking water from homes across the region to the people responsible for enabling that contamination.<\/p>\n\n

“At a time when lakes and rivers are unswimmable, and rural people can\u2019t even drink the water coming out of their kitchen tap without worrying about getting sick, Environment Canterbury has greenlit more than 16,000 extra dairy cattle onto the Canterbury plains in just the last eight months.”<\/p>\n\n

Appelbe says, “Intensive dairying is the main source of nitrate pollution in Canterbury, and Environment Canterbury knows this. Ignoring the problem is not going to make it go away – so we\u2019re bringing the issue to the council\u2019s doorstep.”<\/p>\n\n

“The people of Canterbury want clean drinking water now, and they\u2019re willing to vote for it. Our challenge to ECan candidates is: who\u2019s willing to stand up to defend Canterbury\u2019s fresh water by ending dairy expansion and phasing out the use of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
