Govt's current projection is that by 2027 just 6% of England's river will be in 'Good' ecological condition, down from the current 14%*.

Might that give you reason to try and fudge the results?

*The original objective was that by 2015 100% of rivers would achieve 'Good' status.

That, though, in the crazy world of banking, is not how things work. Instead, our commercial banks are now being paid for having had the privilege of being saved by us.

Head of infrastructure says he doesn't care.

50% of humans live in this circle
But why?
It's not a coincidence

It's because of a single, massive accident
Why?

They are not anti-car schemes. They are pro-human health schemes.

[Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @IrishRainforest]

Who'd want to live surrounded by this wall of dark lifelessness?

Plantation forestry already smothers 10% of Ireland, and the government wants to massively increase that.

We need alternatives, that work for people, nature + climate. This does the very opposite, on ALL fronts.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Deary me! Not 40 minutes ago @YorkshireWater were claiming they had "not paid dividends to shareholders for the last seven years". Really.

No doubt they'd like to put the record straight.

@Feargal_Sharkey Wow that £63 million quid could buy 2,077 one million litre surface storage tanks at just under £30k each. Good chance of substantial discounts for that amount. There is no need to dump shit in the sea, or rivers. A small amount of "dividend" would stop the pollution.

The @EnvAgency has confirmed, it is now conducting the largest ever criminal investigation into illegal sewage dumping by ALL water and sewerage companies.

How long I wonder before we see WC executives standing in the dock facing criminal charges and potential jail time?
