What do we want? Clean rivers. When do we want it now? @MarchforWater

🌊 Our rivers deserve better. Serious water pollution remains unacceptably high. Water companies must invest in ending raw sewage discharges. We need stronger regulation and real accountability. Our rivers cannot wait. Read full story here: shorturl.at/GRonM

#DailyPictureTheme ”Bewitched” - the Shrew Ash which once stood in Richmond Park was visited by local women as late as the 19th century for magical rites- the original was lost in a storm. This Ash now stands as a bewitching reminder between Sheen and Roehampton gates…

A fabulous end to the day here at a Twickenham with the sun doing its magic to the trees as well as incredible deep red clouds reflecting in the Thames.

Ahead of World Sustainability Day, we’re celebrating rivers’ power to reconnect us with nature. But London’s rivers face growing threats from pollution, climate change and nature loss. 🧵⬇️

At Thames21, we’re working with communities and volunteers to protect rivers, wildlife and ecosystems for a healthier, more resilient Thames Basin. ⬇️

💧 Healthier rivers mean healthier communities. Please find out more about us here: thames21.org.uk/about-us/ #WorldSustainabilityDay.

The Wet Wipes (Labelling, Sale and Marketing) Bill has been introduced in the House of Commons, with its second reading scheduled for 13 November 2026.

The Bill proposes clearer labelling for non-flushable wet wipes, including a visible symbol on the front of the packaging.🧵⬇️

Clear labelling matters, but so do genuinely plastic-free alternatives. Water firms must also boost their investment in better sewage infrastructure and consumers must dispose of them responsibly. ⬇️

Plastic-containing wipes contribute to pollution and threaten our rivers and wildlife. Let’s keep pushing for change to protect our rivers! 🌍💚
