@BrigadeMuseum To all the firefighters around the world, past and present, big respect. And to his fiancée and his family, I am sorry for your loss

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

@sohni Awesome camera work. Awesome crane driver precision. And far better to have the workers on the ground directing the traffic than stupid 4 way traffic lights clogging up the traffic . So I don’t know what your issue is here sir

As per a request from @ec1bathrooms check out Parts 1 to 3 of Frankie's (not quite so new) adventure. Set in a world where a mysterious virus means no humans are at work, Frankie the flamingo and Clarence the crab meet Eric the frog. Wot? Eric? The frog ? https://t.co/6fHyUv7GLC

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

What is happening?? AI has taken over our website without our knowledge and made it interactive! https://t.co/SCtT9bd5vU
Franke the flamingo and Clarence the crab now torn about whether its a good or bad thing...

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

Did Cath really try to set her school on fire? And if so, how does that fit into a shower blog? https://t.co/OGuly9YE5a

Second this thought on World Water Day

[UN-Water @UN_Water]

Make it equal: Share water fetching between women and men, girls and boys.

Let’s get #Goal6 on track! #WorldWaterDay #WaterAction

Nice set of photos for International Women's Day

[Thames Water 💧 @thameswater]

International Women’s Day is about celebrating the achievements of women and advocating for a gender-equal world – and we’re ready to #InspireInclusion in the water industry!

We’ve committed to increasing our female retention and employing more women at Thames Water.

On behalf of Frankie the flamingo, Eric the frog says, "Aw shucks! Thanks."

[ec1 bathrooms @ec1bathrooms]

@CathHassell Your one is far better of course

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

Eric the frog, on behalf of Frankie the flamingo, says "Awww Shucks!"

[ec1 bathrooms @ec1bathrooms]

@CathHassell Your one is far better of course

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

It is a bit weird. But guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Link to the first and best Frankie the flamingo https://t.co/gCZSp64xRY

[World Bank Water @WorldBankWater]

When schools have safe water, toilets, and soap for handwashing, children have a healthy learning environment, and girls are more likely to attend school when they're on their period.

This #EducationDay, we must ensure that young people can exercise their right to education.

Beautiful!

A pool from the Roman Period.

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

Quite an increase. Especially as loos using far more per flush back then. And mostly baths to get clean. We had one bath a week in winter and twice a week in summer. Now a short shower every day.

[Waterwise @Waterwise]

DYK we use 60% more water now than we did in the 60s? Why? A lot of it is around lifestyle - longer & more frequent showers, leaky loos, more swimming pools/hot tubs in homes... and ice baths🥶! To find out how you can save water, head to https://t.co/mo70eCp88V #Pledge2024

Micro plastics are such a major issue...

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

“They found that on average, a liter of bottled water contained some 240,000 detectable plastic fragments—10 to 100 times greater than previous estimates.” https://t.co/NkqdkeiiWz

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

Stunning photography of plankton. But also of plastic microfibres in thier habitat. Shocking

[Dr Richard Kirby @PlanktonPundit]

The saddest compilation video I have ever made. But perhaps also the most positive if it causes a reduction in plastic pollution in 2024. In once pristine seas, every nearshore plankton sample I now collect contains plastic microfibers. (Sound On) @zeiss_micro

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

Impressive work here by Bradley the beaver! Has learnt from his previous mistake when his rather too successful dam had to be dismantled by Frankie the flamingo! https://t.co/Yfzmq6TmxT

Sobering statistics re flood defences.

[Dave Throup @DaveThroup]

It’s not surprising then that flood defences built to cope with 1 in 100 year floods are struggling.

Keswick defences were built in 2012 were overtopped by a metre in 2015.

Brechin flood defences completed in 2015 to defend against a 1 in 200 year flood were overtopped in 2023

@Dishoom Kings Cross. My favourite London restaurant with my favourite restaurant toilets and now... my favourite toilet 'out of order' sign!

[Cath Hassell @CathHassell]

We have just seven years left to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) – safe toilets and water for all by 2030. A toilet is small but mighty – just like a hummingbird, but a hummingbird is prettier than most toilets!
