World Dairy Summit ‘greenwashed’

World Dairy Summit ‘greenwashed’

At 8.00 am this morning Greenwash Incorporated greenwashed the entrance to the Sky City Convention Centre, as part of the World Dairy Summit.

Today is the last day of the World Dairy Summit, where the international dairy delegates are discussing their effect on the environment.

Greenwash Inc. Communications Manager Gareth Johnson says “Greenwash Inc. are assisting Fonterra in covering up their major contribution to New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions. Currently 50% of our national emissions result from agricultural practices and 90% of our rivers are unswimmable, largely due to impacts of the dairy industry.

“Greenwash Inc. feel strongly that Fonterra should not be penalised for their flagrant disregard for environmental concerns. We will ensure that Fonterra continues to lead the world’s dairy industry in this destructive manner under the guise of ‘sustainability’.”

A dozen green-clad workers covered the pavement in front of the centre with green goo, as international delegates entered the building. The greenwash application lasted approximately 30 minutes, until police moved the workers on.

“We are trying to hide the devastation Fonterra is responsible for” said Greenwash Inc. employee Jacquie Govinski. “Today we successfully covered up climate crimes, deforestation and extensive water pollution.”

“Fonterra can now happily continue leading the world in ‘sustainable dairying’” said Govinski.
