Protest against Toxic Waste Dumping in Wellington
The Hohou te Rongo - People Poisoned Daily Speaking Tour held the first of five public meetings to address the issue of communities impacted by toxic chemicals.
Greenpeace, together with the Sawmill Workers Against Poisons (SWAP), Vietnam Veterans of Aotearoa, Paritutu Dioxin Investigation Action Group and Te Waka Kai Ora (Maori organics group) have organised the tour.
The tour's focus will be on dioxin poisoning. Urgent action is needed to stop the dumping of lethal toxic waste, produced daily by industries throughout the country. Dioxins are banned by international laws, but industries are still pumping them into our air, water and soil.
