Lumsden Water Tests Above Preterm Birth Risk Level
Greenpeace says nitrate contamination in Lumsden’s water supply has risen above the level associated with increased preterm birth risk.

Greenpeace says nitrate contamination in Lumsden’s water supply has risen above the level associated with increased preterm birth risk.

Greenpeace says private bore water testing in Ōtautau revealed nitrate levels linked to bowel cancer and preterm birth risks.

A new international study linking nitrate contamination to stomach cancer is adding pressure on the Government to tighten New Zealand’s outdated drinking water standards.

The Climate Commission says New Zealand faces escalating climate risks. Greenpeace says the oversized dairy herd is helping drive the crisis.

NZ dairy thinks political muscle can save it. But when synthetic milk powder becomes cheaper than the real thing, the market won’t care about farmer tears.

Is your drinking water safe? Free nitrate testing is back in Southland, and the results may surprise you.

A damning new report says almost every environmental claim Fonterra makes is greenwashing — while its emissions keep rising and climate damage worsens.

While other sectors cut emissions, dairy is going the other way. Fonterra’s footprint is growing — and so is the damage.
We built Fonterra to protect New Zealand. Now it’s selling off the future and telling us to be grateful for the payout.

If it’s safe, drink it. That’s the challenge Greenpeace just laid down on Parliament’s lawn — and it cuts straight through years of political avoidance on nitrate contamination.
