Greens do tend to go on rather a lot about their criticisms of the whole ‘infinite growth in a finite world’ concept. The reason they do this I think is frustration that the effects of continuing to grow when you have nowhere to grow into are so blindingly obvious. It’s a baking soda and vinegar kind of thing. Yet so few others seem to see that problem on the horizon.
So is it any surprise today to see that Fonterra, presumably now starting to run out of land in NZ on which to fit its cows, has found another green foresty sort of nation in which to expand?
Andrew Ferrier [Fonterra's chief executive] said the buy would simplify decision-making and enable Fonterra to focus on growing the business.
Because growing is good. Ironically our new idol of milk powder is being purchased by Fonterra from the Vatican.

Why don’t the greens rename themselves “fonterra watch” and let some real greens use their name.

Kevin, why don’t you say something constructive occasionally, instead of constantly criticising with no substance.
Green is a global movement, and it is totally legitimate for the NZ Greens to be critical of overseas activities of NZ companies when these are detrimental to the environment.
And what do you mean by “real greens” Kevin? Perhaps climate change deniers who greenwash over the name!
