Fonterra is New Zealand’s top-emitting company for the second year running, according to estimates published by the Environmental Protection Authority. Together, the top 10 most climate-polluting companies make more than half the country’s emissions.
We are continuing to alternate our Friday lunchtime protests between the Parliament Lawn and Midland Park (outside the Fonterra office), 12.30 till 1.30.

It’s still January and there are already two climate protest events to look forward to:
Valentines Day Protest
Tuesday 14 February is when Parliament resumes. We plan to break with our tradition to do a lunchtime protest on the Parliament Lawn on this day. (Tuesday for Future?) As it also happens to be Valentine’s Day, we’re thinking of incorporating this as a theme for our protest. (Valentine’s for Future?)
What are your ideas? Everyone is free to come and join us. Check back here for more details closer to the day.
If it’s been a while since your last School Strike for Climate protest, t’s time to dust off your protesting boots and reconnect with your fellow climate activists!
