So great to see some local roadside verges full of Autumn hawkbit, Bird'sfoot trefoil, Yarrow & Red clover. No need for fancy planting schemes, nature does it best. #wildflowers

In a letter to the @thetimes Jonathan Jones of Westbury explains how he took out a small claims court action against a water company for loss of amenity due to sewage pollution. They agreed to settle for the sum of £550. Now that is interesting!

This Thursday, we delivered our #DirtyMoney petition to Ofwat, and made all of our collective feelings known to the water industry outside their annual awards ceremony - we're sick of false promises, spineless apologies and the shameful pollution of our waterways. 💩💩💩

Disposable barbeques are a completely irresponsible product and are totally unsustainable 🔥 Responsible use of an irresponsible product is impossible! Please share this post to remind others to make the responsible choice and not buy disposable BBQs! 🛑

The distinct lack of data reporting from Scottish Water makes us question the true state of our waterways ❌. We need transparency and pressure from SEPA and government to #endsewagepollution. Sign and share the #dirtymoney petition to demand action: buff.ly/3BVt1FB

Rain on Monday night made Boscombe beach where we did our workshops unsafe to swim. So sick of water companies taking our money and polluting our beaches. #leaveonlyfootprints dorset.live/news/dorset-news…

Do not swim at these 14 beaches after sewage discharges

A water pollution alert is in place in some areas

On #WorldOceansDay, why not explore the SURELINES AND D-RIFT: CREATIVE WRITERS AGAINST COASTAL WASTE project, with blogs below on Blue Heritage, #DiverseMarineValues, Ocean Narratives, and coastal sustainability projects! 🌊🪸⛵️ artfulscribe.co.uk/blog-cate… @Artfulscribeuk
Screenshot from website, text reads: SURELINES AND D-RIFT: CREATIVE WRITERS AGAINST COASTAL WASTE CHANGING BEHAVIOUR INTENTIONS THROUGH ART INTERVENTIONS Surelines and D-Rift: Creative Writing Against Coastal Waste In 2017 the United Nations declared 2021-2030 a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. But what does this mean for local beaches? How can Creative Writing encourage a deepening awareness of coastal ecologies and encourage a commitment from beach-users towards behaviour change that will help protect coastal creatures and habitats for future generations? Surelines and D-Rift: Creative Writing Against Coastal Waste is designed in partnership with the Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities (SIAH).
