Did you know that car tires cause plastic pollution? They are made of rubber and plastic that will wear out while driving. This means that through friction, thousands of microplastics are released onto land and into the air. @climatemessages @Climate24877412 @Greenpeace@3POPIOM

In the UK, there is only ONE bathing water located on a river. Compared to around 1,200 in France and 1,900 in Germany 😰
The 2022 Sewage Action Plan must include a binding target to increase the number of bathing rivers. SIGN & SHARE THE PETITION: https://t.co/M693gcSrs9

As we welcome in Spring and the Vernal Equinox, we look forward to lighter evenings on the beach, more dawnies in the water and getting out into nature for longer.

Over 6% of annual ocean plastic waste comes from 1 river alone.
