Misguided campaign

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Last week, Greenpeace lit up Fonterra's Auckland headquarters with 'messages from the common people' - that the sector is polluting the environment.

And probably eager to claim that people involved in the dairy sector support their misguided campaign, Greenpeace roped in a mythical 'Gail'.

A Greenpeace statement said that these messages included that of 'Gail', who apparently said "With a dairy farm background I feel sad our dairy industry continues to pollute".

Is that the best Greenpeace could muster, someone claiming 'a dairy farm background'!

And just for the record Fonterra farmers are one of the most environmentally efficient in the world.
