I think everyone is just very un- informed. In my opinion Greenpeace are AWESOME !!
i was out there in a gorilla suit supporting them this arvo in a very peaceful protest. But what people forget about is that when we chop down the rain forest we are not only killing orangutangs and the beautiful tigers we are killing of our oxygen source even I know that and Im a junior at high school !!

I think that Greenpeace are doing the right thing by protesting. All Fonterra cares about is the dollar sign and the cows that already affect the Earth with their CO2 gases. They don't care about the numbers of orangutans and tigers that are now almost extinct because of their actions, or the natural rainforest. I hold nothing against the use of palm oil, but plant the trees in the spare land available in countries like Australia. Don't burn down the trees in Indonesia and blame it on villagers fires. The land can't grow anything once you burn it, further harming the people is Indonesia. We were fine not using palm kernels to feed our cows before. I think Fonterra should start taking responsibility for their actions before they destroy the whole planet.

It is idiots like this that stretched our police resources by putting their own worthless lives at risk.

Unfortunately you are deluded Lisa, Your are anti NZ, anti intelligence, You have the climate change religion as your bible, I'm sorry that you don't focus your attentions on the global Banking system that forces global enslavement. Don't attack real company's that create wealth with real products not enslavement for some fictitious CO2 FUD dogma

Why doesn't Greenpeace protest in Indonesia and Malaysia where the so called forests are being destroyed? Is it because they are likely to face a government that is likely to deal with them stiffly and harshly as opposed to getting a slap on the wrist here?
I wish that these people would go and get a real job and not harass the rest of us with their fanaticism!

This is the 2nd embarrassing exploitative and environmentally disastrous blunder in as many years for fonterra. I will definitely not be a customer of a company with such lax environmental and social standards. Vote with your 'dairy dollars' and seek out independent, conscious and responsible suppliers.
Organic Agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved.
Consumer power has the capacity to demand such practices in business, government and agriculture.
If a quarter of the worlds palm kernal supply makes up 1% of New Zealand stock feed what are we feeding our cows and how big exactly is the NZ dairy heard?
I feel for the honest farmers who find themselves part owners of this lemon.
