Greenpeace Aotearoa has recently released their petition for the government to limit the amount of nitrates in drinking water to one milligram. 

At the moment the legal limit of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser is 11.3mg, which Greenpeace says is a major issue that has caused several illnesses and deaths. 

The organisation has stated that water is a human right, and that the government must stand up for the health of our communities.
