Save Our Water .org.nz Clean Public Water campaign in the face of industrial dairy conversion of Canterbury NZ landscape, rivers & streams ~ Stop Climate Change
Anthropomorphic projection and worship at the peak of the food chain is the greatest threat to humanity and many present species, when 'god' the creator is actually the tiniest carbon atom at the base. Evolutionary leap in grasping this fact of matter <3
@climate_rebel Humanity is engaged, like it or not, in an uncontrolled bound experiment to see what species can survive and emerge successful, from dramatically loosed #carbon & a rate of ocean pH change not seen for 50 million years https://t.co/buJDyc3Txe D'oh!? New #growth plan is needed NOW
#Carbon chains up into life, making plants, animals and humans, who eventually made God. Carbon thus made God. Carbon is #God. Let's start listening to it with awe and respect <3
Start here to know your carbon, building block of all known life, 18% of your own Earthly body yet less than 1% of Earth itself. "Know thyself" - #Sophocles https://t.co/MNrjQ8Btnz
@RikTindall@traceymclellan#NZ has criminal gang problem because governing parties lead these historically. Labour & National cannot, will never establish honesty as leading principle of the state, as extreme partisans. Safer collective future only possible from starting again democratically with integrity
@RikTindall@traceymclellan Philosophically light, New Zealanders believe their country is governed by a left-leaning political party. It is not. The ruling party at all times is a right-wing criminal gang. The current one does just enough for labour interests to disguise itself as functionally different.

My MP @traceymclellan ran a winter clinic in #Cashmere community by addressed invitation. Either #McLellan edited me out of the constituent list or her street team 'lost' my letter; neither is acceptable: #Democratic rights belong to all in #Aotearoa Corrupt governance blights NZ

This conversation is delightful for a water wonk like me… Fascinating to hear how much the panelists believe the health of the planet, climate change, and population growth will influence the future of water and work in our sector. Sorry if you’re missing this!
MP's buy property and then claim allowance for renting it from themselves. You'd think they'd be happy with their fat and unjustified six-figure salaries, plus expenses - but, apparently, more is never enough.

Effectively, we are allowing dairy in Canterbury - just in Canterbury - to do $12b worth of free polluting every year. To put that into perspective a recent report said that the total dairy industry contributed $7.8b per year to the NZ economy." https://t.co/NalpqHJcig
"The total amount of nitrate leached to water from dairy farming in the 2017 year in Canterbury alone was above 30m kilos. If we paid to protect Canterbury waterways at the rates we paid in the two North Island lake examples, it would amount to a cost of $12 billion per year...
