Vanavond debat over "ruzie in het kabinet over mest". 🤷‍♂️
Omdat Wiersma niet functioneert, experts negeert en belang van schoon & betaalbaar water opoffert voor de belangen van agro-industrie.

Nog steeds geen stukken gekregen, deadline was maandag.

Onhoudbaar dit. VVD/CDA moeten Wiersma wegsturen.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests.
They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full denial of reality. 🤯

Wáár zijn de dieren in plannen van D66 & CDA?

Je kunt het niet hebben over stikstof zonder te kijken naar de bio-industrie. Ook niet over vogelgriep, klimaat of gezondheidsrisico’s van geitenhouderijen.

Alles hangt samen. Dus begint dé oplossing bij: minder dieren fokken en doden in ons land.
