😂This is just appuling and dreadful.

Thank you for speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

With "our" greed for seafood (I went veggie, aged 14, in 1985 yet) we leave a lot of garbage and ghost nets in the seas, many ocean animals get stuck in the ghost nets and decease. It hurts.

Amazing :)

Let's protect all we can. Shame on the N Z government for continuing the destructive habit of sea mount trawling!

Humans destroy everything 😢

😢😢😢my God!!!

Humans are the most selfish things that exist.

Awful. Too many humans on this planet, we're destroying the ecosystem to feed the billions of people!

Disastrous!

"I can not believe you are serious." John McEnroe uttered these words many times in his illustrious tennis career. After watching this Greenpeace video I feel exactly the same. Where is the balance and context to these very grandiose statements? Firstly palm plantations are grown for palm oil which is used in the manufacture of foodstuffs and cosmetics destined for supermarket shelves the world over. How misleading this sensationalistic propaganda is from an organisation promoting themselves as saviors of the planet. It is the palm kernel that the oil is extracted from. The husk and the rest of what is left over is termed as the extract. Before this waste by-product was used as stockfeed it was burned. How do you feel about that Greenpeace, was that good for the environment? It's unfortunate because at their heart I recognise there is a genuine want to improve our planets health. New Zealand contributes a total of 0.15 of one percent to global climate emissions. Our total emissions for all types NZ farming, including associated industries, is appropriately 0.075 of one percent. The amount of climate change from this is almost unrecordable. There are far better ways to remove emissions than the very narrow, simplistic and convoluted solutions offered up by an overseas organisation headquartered in the Netherlands, a country which relies heavily on the contribution its dairy farming industry.

That is shocking!

I visited Kaikoura in 2012, this is so sad to hear! Beautiful area

Nice👍👍👍❤

Exactly! Thank you for bringing attention to the current issues with our energy system:) I believe that we can have a clean, sustainable energy system

Pls pls STOP plundering our ocean….it’s absolutely ugly …what are we doing to cause all this ❓. It MUST stop 🛑 NOW

Really great discussion and insights - thanks for putting this on GP & to Stephen Poletti & Geoff Bertram for the great points. It's actually kind of nuts how the current energy market is setup - and it's even more nuts that the current government wants to double down on prioritising large company profits over people and the environment - completely shunning the evidence and the ever pressing need for change. So much potential to create a better system! Sustainable energy solutions could not only provide a more resilient network (solar was key during the cyclone Gabrielle recovery) but drastically reduce the cost for households in the long term if done right. Seems to me we need to kick start more community energy based solutions in the short term while we wrangle with the current BS spitting, 3 headed dinosaur in government....

its no question we can have a clean sustainable energy system. The crime is that the present Government is baking in fossil fuel sources and high electricity prices to suit the gentailers. It's a political choice to guarantee gentailer profits or to meet basic electricity needs for people.

The video quality is expert level, we need to see more high quality content such as this cheers

The Government must fund DOC and other guardians to look after life in the beautiful Kaikoura. Overfishing is certainly contributing to this awful reality.

But what can a single person do? I'm vegan for 7 years, we drive a hybrid car, we use phtovoltaics, but still so many people don't seem to care. One of my friends is a grandmother to 3.Still she and her husband goes on cruises. When I tell her, it's not for me. Never will, she answers "you only live once"! True, but that doesn't mean, I don't have to care about the future of our planet. I also believe the rich can save us, but they won't. It's really depressing!

5% left of our former seal population. Devastating isn't it. Like the sea birds, starving because we are pillaging our oceans to the point of collapse. We need to stop commercial fishing now!

Climate emissions and overfishing. Again our human species need to make better choices with our eating and buying habits

"We humans" (not me, I´m lacto-veggie) with our greed for fish, and for fossile energy (also not me, I receive energy from water power) are the most stupid species, we destroy our own habitats and those of the animals.

This is one of my favorite PSA

This is a serious issue, but we can make great progress if we are respectful of the seas. If we give nature space and time to recover, things will surely turn around and get better for all creatures!

Well said!

This psa deserves so much more attention, this is genuinely heartbreaking:(

Shades of TRMP

We must not allow deep sea mining to go ahead. The greed of a few who are only self serving has no place for consideration,when the damage they will do is far too great. NO TO DEEP SEA MINING!!!

We are lucky in Aotearoa with all our hydro because every hour of sunlight on a panel and every rotation of a turbine means less water through a dam. That water can then pass through later when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow. This means that every installation of a panel or turbine automatically comes with grid storage!

I dont think you have a grasp of the bigger picture Fonterra produces and overseas the production of some of the highest nutritional products benefiting millions of people so you would want to stop the production of milk then what?

Thanks for all your mahi bringing this issue to the people. Some beautiful korero and great info to help us unite, engage, educate and resist together. Look forward to taking a stand alongside all you good folk who wish to help protect my beautiful blue backyard.

This is our spiritual responsibilty There ia not a question between turbine s + seabed mining Turbines may last 20 years. These monstrosities are not recyclable not sustainable We need to say no to green washing rhetoric Short term gain for profit is not ok We are kaitiaki of this sacred earth The.being s in our ocean are part of us and we are responsible to speak for those that can not speak We are all connected We are one Lets unify for what matters I have spoken to my submissions 3 times against seabed minning each time the TTR lawyers are reliably arogant and dismissive of our enviroment No fast tracking !

whenever you guys get china to stop using plastic, ill sign your silly piece of paper.

**im gonna sob**

3 minutes of nothing😢

I can't get over how the Government is telling councils not just they 'don't have to' set stronger freshwater standards, but they actually can't even if they want to

This is sooo amazing to see! Clean, fresh drinking water is a basic human right. Well it should be! Thank you GP 💚

This conversation about how we protect our freshwater is so important! Thank you for fighting so hard to bring this to more peoples attention

Fast tracking authorizations for deep sea mining only serves the short-term interests of big mining businesses and totally trample indigenous rights and the need for thorough science-based risk analysis and the search for long-term sustainability.

Seeing this on tiktok ruined my day

Viking peaple

Such a racist name...

OK, but some things maybe won't change. Making glass takes a lot of energy and the process of recycling is quite an undertaking (see comment below). And who does the refilling? I find it unbelievable btw that in New Zealand you don't pay a returning fee for plastic bottles.

Serious question: What is the alternative?

dragging a cage along seafloor mining is genocide
