Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse 😡
An Australian outfit plans to fast-track a dirty new industry in Southland using FILTHY lignite (brown coal) to create urea.
Urea is synthetic nitrogen ‘fertiliser’ that drives dairy expansion, the pollution of rivers and contamination of drinking water and climate pollution.
It would be a disaster.

@nickofnz@mastodon.nz People really should do away with cattle, so way less fertiliser would be needed worldwide.

@ghost_shit@aus.social the temptation is there to go research this company and see what shitty things they're doing in Australia and report back, but there is but one of me, and I'm gonna have some joy in my life this eve instead. Someone else can deal with the fuckery. Had enough for one day.
