@nickofnz.bsky.socialBehind closed doors, one of the biggest drivers of the climate crisis isn't an oil company - it’s a global meat dynasty.
Amazon rainforest wrecker and world’s biggest meat company JBS is now expanding into Southeast Asia

@craigwrightstclair.bsky.social@nickofnz.bsky.socialFonterra profits while rural families pay the price.
Fonterra has announced a whopping $3.4 billion in profits, while rural communities can't safely drink the water coming out of their kitchen taps. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre... via @greenpeace.org.nz
@nickofnz.bsky.socialThis is twisted.
Billions in profit for the dairy industry while WE pay the heavy price of more polluted rivers, contaminated drinking water, climate emissions, mud farming and palm kernel driving rainforest destruction.
@nickofnz.bsky.socialUnbelievable
Canterbury families can’t trust that water from their kitchen tap is safe to drink because the dairy industry is contaminating it with nitrate while making massive profits.
@2covet.bsky.social@nickofnz.bsky.socialIn New Zeaalnd they eat grass grown with vast amounts of syntheitc nitrogen fertiliser because there are so many cows, they can't grow enough grass without it.
@nickofnz.bsky.socialGet this!
Cleaning up pollution caused by the dairy industry’s nitrogen fertiliser costs NZ ten times more than farmers spend buying the fertiliser in the first place.
One of the many ways we subsidise the dairy industry.
