Sewage poisons swimmers, so I'll be participating in #Bedford's *Paddle Out Protest* on Sat 20 May, more info: @bedsccf and @sascampaigns.

The bulbs we planted on steps leading to the canal are looking good. Far better than the old bikes, beer cans and goodness knows what that used to live here until we cleared it.

[Colne Valley Park @Colne_Valley]

In June 2019, our directors went on a tour of the Colne Valley Park. They paused in Harefield to admire the view of the poppies growing on the hillside opposite. The second picture shows how that hillside looks today, April 3, 2023. We are really paying a terrible price for HS2.

🌤️ @AnaDenisova of @UoW_CAMRI explores a question repeatedly asked at #ClimateCafés:
How helpful is it to scare someone who is already scared about #ClimateChange?

Undoubtedly, 'we need a proper national conversation about the kind of society we want to live in, and the real risks and difficult trade-offs we face in the years ahead' as @steviesmith66 of @CUSP_uk writes for @ConversationUK ✅

Thérèse Coffey said the Plan For Water would help tackle “the scourge of sewage pollution once and for all”.

But without the infrastructure to enforce rules, the water plan will NOT succeed 👉 https://t.co/3d4IFMOMkC

🚂 #Bletchley & #MiltonKeynes residents should be concerned about this new DIESEL train service.

[Surfers Against Sewage @sascampaigns]

The government's new water plan is evidence of how far #peoplepower can go. 🙌

But we've seen some of these targets before. Promises without action aren't going to #endsewagepollution. We need more, so let's keep the pressure on. ✊

During the Covid crisis it was Britain’s health system that failed the resilience test - because the reduction in beds has gone too far, leaving hospitals with too little spare capacity.
