This is just about the only legislation protecting rivers
1. Why "flag" this to business leaders?
2. A river doesn't need several ecological problems to kill it. One will do.
3. Do we want to lower the standards by which our rivers are judged?

This Paralympic swimmer built his own pool after local pools closed in the #COVID19 shutdown.

His makeshift pool is made of plastic, logs and an old tank.
