432666 2006-02-24 01:17:00 Farming degrades the environment, effluent and nitrate run offs ruining water ways and ground water, farts, lowering of water tables, destruction of the bush, destruction of high country native grasses and plants.
Farming burn off practices.
Some bore water is now undrinkable because of nitrates.

The list of negatives for farming as is large and endless.

Pine forestry does nothing for the environment that planting native trees could not do a hundred times better, and the value of the logs exported is pathetic, no added value at all.
After logging over see the acres of gorse that appears in some or many areas, in the Wellington region anyway.
Our beautiful Akatarawa Valley is rapidly being taken over by self-seeded Radiata pines from private plantations, so are the edges of parts of the Tararua Forest Park, in fact self seeded pines are a menace everywhere, Pinus Contorta is a particular menace in Tongariro National Park, Waikato and other areas.

I thought you had been very quiet lately Cic. Well, have you a solution to get us back up the OECD list?

In actual fact, never read the Daily Worker, but aren't you behind the times? I think it is now called The Morning Star.
