West Berkshire Council's present Waste Strategy expires 2022. In the next few weeks they will be determining the Reading West Incinerator in the absence of a new Waste Strategy. What should a net zero policy test look like? https://t.co/AIjLg2wfdc via @theENDSReport

Water company fat cat bosses cut investment in sewage network by almost 40%, fail environment targets for the 5th year running but don't worry we'll still give you a £1m 'special bonus'.

Where does that leave @Ofwat and their finger wagging?

This particular council, HCC?, would benefit from a deep dive into understanding the damaging effects of particulate matters emissions from incinerators! Shame on you HCC - King Alfred is turning in his grave!

“I just want to be reassured that the pollution level is not going to exceed… be ingested by people… what is the impact on any agricultural growers in the area… if this gets into food that’s going to be consumed…?”
“…I can’t specifically answer the details of that question”

We & @WWF call for a legally-binding UN treaty on plastic pollution that addresses the entire plastics lifecycle.

In February, at #UNEA, world leaders have a crucial opportunity to begin negotiations for such a treaty.
