@RiverActionUK Yet another blatant attempt for UK corporations to push the blame onto the consumer instead of reinvesting their exorbitant profits into the the crucial public infrastructure that they are responsible for maintaining!
💧 Every drop counts. But so does accountability.
As England emerges from another record-breaking heatwave, a new national campaign is asking us all to use less water.
We welcome any effort to help people save water. Every litre saved helps reduce pressure on our rivers.
But let's be clear: the public cannot be expected to fix a crisis they didn't create.
❌ Every day, water companies lose more than 3 billion litres of clean drinking water through leaking pipes.
❌ Since privatisation, they've paid out billions to shareholders while failing to invest in the infrastructure our water system desperately needs.
❌ And despite growing water shortages, no new reservoirs have been built by water companies in England for 30 years.
We're being asked to take shorter showers while water companies waste billions of litres and continue to pollute our rivers.
It's time they got their own house in order.
We need a fully funded national freshwater emergency plan that fixes leaks, restores rivers, invests in resilient infrastructure, and holds polluters to account.
Saving water is everyone's responsibility. Fixing the system is theirs.

This government could have taken on the super-rich to tackle inequality.
They chose to fan the flames of racism and embolden the far-right instead.
Our country needs a change in direction, now.
It’s time for a real alternative that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.
Where is Keir Starmer? Where is the leadership?
Fascists marched on our streets yesterday and he hasn’t said a single word.
Instead the Prime Minister spends his time defending the “best pals” of paedophiles.
He is a coward. He should resign.
@Qwrrrr6 Contagion definitely doesn’t help that feeling aha. Yeah I’ve seen that one, it’s crazy that I hadn’t even heard about it until the documentary!
Typical of the government to cancel exams without figuring out how to decide our grades! As if there isn't enough reasons for students to stress! #alevels2020#exams#lockdownuk
