Shaftesbury Tree Festival

A festival celebrating trees and tree planting 🌳

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Last Friday morning that was illegal, not any more it’s not.

[Joanna Bradley @stormwater_jo]

This Chanel 4 Dispatches programme tonight will be a ‘must watch’ for those of us appalled by river pollution @Feargal_Sharkey @ColvinH2O @LDNWaterkeeper @RibbleTrust @TonyJuniper . https://t.co/ReBMgP1CAJ

#SaveOurStreams so how’s that one working out @AffinityWater?

[Adrian Edmondson ❎ @AdrianEdmondson]

It takes an awful lot of guts to tell someone something like this to their face. You can hear the courage in her voice. But well done you, whoever you are, I think you’re brilliant

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Truly devastating energy price cap rise announced this morning, yet lame duck Govt is AWOL. We need solutions NOW - @TheGreenParty will lower price cap to Oct 2021 level of £1,277, adopt differential tariffs for lowest incomes, & tax obscene oil & gas profits to help pay for it

[Dorset Trees, Woods & Hedges Network @TreesforDorset]

The Oak Fair at Stock Gaylard is this weekend, Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th. A great celebration of trees and all things they do for us, see: https://t.co/tH2mG82Yq1

A devastating announcement that will cause so much anxiety to so many - yet not a single Minister from this toxic Govt prepared to be interviewed - utterly despicable

And this is 80% rise from what it is now but a *178%* rise from what it was same time last year #EnergyCrisis

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

IMPORTANT
Pls share

In May govt announced decent help based on predicted 42% rise in the Oct to Apr energy price cap (that'd take a typical bill to £2,800)

Now the rise for that period's likely to be 126% (£4,460 for a typical bill)

Pls read why & my plea to the new PM

[Green is a mission @Greenisamissio1]

A place in the shade of a tree is priceless for humans and animals. We need more trees to lower the surface temperature of the earth. This also reduces the evaporation of water and protects against soil erosion and ensures the protection of the environment.💚🌳🌿🌱💚

This . Just this . Sums it all up really . . . we are in deep shit . . . and they are on holiday . . .

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Can't believe I just saw this, @SouthernWater spokesperson on @GMB telling customers

"You then need to use your judgement on whether you feel it's safe to go swimming or not".

So it's up to you if you want to go swimming in a load of sewage, not our problem. WOW! @HugoSAS

[BBC Politics @BBCPolitics]

"Roll back the energy price cap to where it was in October of last year... and bring the big 5 energy suppliers into public ownership"

Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer says government is "sitting on its hands" and other parties' plans "are not enough"

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

So this is what @AffinityWater calls "protecting our local environment".

The reality, no the brutality of #SaveOurStreams an objective driven by nothing more than cynicism, underinvestment and greed.

The River Ivel is a chalk stream 1 of only 225 in the entire world.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

And as if to prove the point.

"Opinion polling indicated that 83% of the British public would like to see renationalisation of all water services."

[Ver Valley Society @VerValleySoc]

Today the #RiverVer's small tributary, the #RiverRed, has run dry. No flow and stagnant pools this morning. It ran all through the 2019 drought. Still no sign of an @AffinityWater hosepipe ban.
