Just what we don't need. Already, our rivers are overloaded with both human and livestock waste, leading in many cases to #rivercide. Now the government, responding as always to lobbyists, wants to make it worse. Then it wonders why it loses public support. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Genuinely moved by #Rivercide report last night, reporting along stretches of river I know so ecologically intimately. Land management damage has been inflicted for decades, but it's deteriorated for sure, including upstream from where they were. The Lugg is in a worse state.
Please don't underestimate the power of education. Getting local people to care about river life, how it all functions and adapts, how it is disturbed, and of course polluted and killed so this can be avoided. Celebrating ecological beauty. #rivercide #WyeLove
#Rivercide I hope it wasn't the same farmer... https://seasonalight.com/2015/06/21/lapwing/

#rivercide yes, we need boots on the ground. Riverkeepers. Monitoring, educating, advising and enforcement
Watching @rivercide_live #Rivercide with my 4-year-old daughter. Looking at the polluted state of the river Wye, she summed things up rather well: "Eww. We need to clean it up."
The Yellow Mayfly - this was taken just behind where George is standing now. #Rivercide @GeorgeMonbiot
#Rivercide I can tell you now, they are filming right next to the UK's rarest mayfly habitat!
