Come and join Sue Kedgley and the Coalition against the use of Methyl Bromide to protest the use of this highly toxic gas at the Wellington Port. This is part of a nationwide series of protests organised by the coalition. There will be speeches outlining the risks of Methyl Bromide and options for better practice.

Methyl Bromide is currently used to fumigate logs at various ports around New Zealand. It is often released directly into the atmosphere and is very ozone depleting. It poses serious health risks to the port workers. The protest starts from 12.00.
