All over England, rivers are dying. Polluted with sewage, fertilizers, biocides, microplastics & industrial effluents; some abstracted to the point of drying up.

The recent surge in public interest & media attention is thanks to grassroots campaigners - people who know and love their local river, who’ve seen and documented the harm, and resolved to DO SOMETHING.

Taking action starts with reconnection.
Water is the ultimate connector.

Our rivers carry it through cities and countryside, through our stories & history, through every living being.

A river runs through you, between kitchen tap & toilet flush. The state of our rivers is, literally, everyone’s business. Image

YOU HAVE JUST 12 HOURS LEFT TO SAVE YOUR LOCAL RIVER.

Today Gov will vote to legalise the wholesale dumping of sewage into our rives.

Just as MPs were mislead over the cost of fixing sewage overflows, #SewageScandal #sewage environment groups have now also been mislead.
Gov were given 1 more opportunity to get this right but instead they have decided to squander in by overturning a House of Lords amendment.

Gov now want to allow water companies to dump sewage all of the time so long as they claim to be making a "progressive reduction".
That will allow water companies to legally dump sewage into our rivers on a scale that currently is illegal.

Act now. Write to you MP today and demand that at tomorrow's vote they support the House of Lords amendment.
