🚁🏔️ This is the hypocrisy of #helitours that showcase the majestic taonga of the Haupapa/Tasman #Glacier while destroying it with unwanted #luxuryemissions

💨 Helis emit 40-60 times more CO2 per hour than cars

The Tasman Glacier recedes 180m per year, allowing us to float our banner on a massive lake that didn’t exist before 1973!

🏔️At Haupapa/Tasman Glacier we showed helicopter tour pilots and passengers the impact of their luxury emissions on these breathtaking places.

🚁Helis emit 40-60 times more CO2 per hour than cars, accelerating global warming and ironically, melting the glaciers tourists visit.

🚁In just 4½ hours, 49 helicopters flew overhead, ruining the alpine serenity. There is no limit on scenic flights!

Instead of a destructive heli tour, hop in a car and let your feet take you the rest of the way! It’s far more immersive and enriching

[Climate Liberation Aotearoa @ClimateLib]

Arrest those cars!

It’s high time we lock up those climate change activists blocking our roads. 🤔

This was yesterday in Spain.

[Climate Liberation Aotearoa @ClimateLib]

@livingsymph Huh? Your comment doesn't make sense, we're not talking about COP29, we're talking about the NZ govt (undemocratically) totally destroying our health, environment and climate targets with horrific projects that were rejected prior due to their massive issues.

[Climate Liberation Aotearoa @ClimateLib]

🏭 How do you get approval for a huge polluting rubbish incinerator in a quiet rural area?

You bypass the Environment Court, talk to your buddies in govt and get it approved via the #FastTrack Bill.

The #Waimate waste-to-energy plant will truck in 365,000 tonnes of waste/yr

[Climate Liberation Aotearoa @ClimateLib]

So it’s pretty clear to us that we don’t need or want your luxury emissions NZCA

Sign our open letter to the #NZ govt asking that #cruise emissions be counted and included in emissions reduction plans.

Thank you Prof of #SustainableTourism James Higham! We love that your podcast episode talks facts and not greenwash bs.
Jacqui Lloyd @NZCruiseAssoc CEO had a lot to say after we unwelcomed Diamond Princess @princesscruises recently...

💥“Climate concerns associated with cruise are only going to further intensify…There is a groundswell of opinion that cruise tourism is the antithesis of sustainable tourism and the voices of resistance are getting more organised, louder, more visible and more active.”

[Climate Liberation Aotearoa @ClimateLib]

South Island Resource Recovery Ltd (SIRRL) who are building the plant have publicly stated that community input is a side-track and not relevant - yum okay 🙄

🔥 Let’s show them that we won’t be silenced so easily. Sign the petition

The bad news, it will
🤮 produce a shit ton of air pollution - the equivalent CO2 emissions of 100,000 cars on the road each yr
🤮 create toxic emissions that create serious health risks
🤮 waste 2.5 MILLION litres of fresh water DAILY and burn 100 000 litres of diesel every yr

[Climate Liberation Aotearoa @ClimateLib]

If you’re as green as you claim NZCA, then you’ll have no problem signing our open letter to the NZ govt asking for cruise emissions be counted & included in emissions reduction plans.

👉 We need as many signatures as possible so please add your name too!

When you visit #Aotearoa Diamond Princess @PrincessCruises, or any other cruise line, you can expect to see us!

We’ll be here to let your passengers know the real impact of their cruise holiday, not the greenwash bullshit that @NZCruiseAssoc tells you! 🧵

❌A cruise holiday is better for the environment than a holiday where you fly to your destination.
✔️Research continually shows that a cruise holiday produces 3-4 x the amount of emissions, even taking into account the overall holiday with accommodation, food, etc.
