Free Street Trees

Jeff from Freemans Bay

Auckland Council will replace street trees that are dead, missing or mortally wounded. You don’t get to choose the tree (they try to keep the whole street the same unless they are changing over to a better variety). As planting usually happens in winter, you need to ask for one now to get added … View moreAuckland Council will replace street trees that are dead, missing or mortally wounded. You don’t get to choose the tree (they try to keep the whole street the same unless they are changing over to a better variety). As planting usually happens in winter, you need to ask for one now to get added to the list. And you do have to be the property owner so if you are renting and want to help save the planet you will have to mention it to your landlord and hope they care. Thanks

African swine fever destroying small pig farms, as factory farming booms – report

Small farmers across the globe are losing out in the aftermath of the African swine fever (ASF) outbreak that killed a quarter of the world’s pig population, argues a new report.
Nowhere is this more evident than China, where swine fever has hit the country’s nearly 40 million small-scale pig farmers hardest, says the report by non-profit organisation Grain.
China’s long tradition of small-scale pig farming seems to be coming to an end because of a lack of government support to compensate for culled or diseased pigs, to pay for veterinary costs or chemicals for limiting the spread of ASF, and other biosecurity measures in existing facilities, according to Grain.

“Unfortunately, small farmers are getting almost no support, from what we can see,” said Devlin Kuyek, lead author of the report.

After the first notification of the ASF outbreak in China in August 2018, the illness spread rapidly throughout the industry and led to the slaughter of millions of pigs within months.

Just a year later, however, the startling rise in pork prices meant that, despite their losses, many of the biggest industrial pig producers were achieving record profits.
Looks like a life sentence in prison for the pigs kept in these conditions...
