If we have any chance of talking the scourge of plastic pollution blighting our beaches and warming our climate the global plastic treaty must tackle plastic production too. The UK must back this progressive motion! @sascampaigns

Slightly misleading headline. Seems both main parties are happy to promise that the regulators will be able to do more to protect the environment. Whilst also tying their hands! ⁦@sascampaigns⁩ theguardian.com/environment/…

After a week talking to MPs about working with Nature to tackle sewage, climate change and biodiversity loss this decision is a kick in the teeth. Rather than growing company coffers we need @Ofwat to have a green duty that priorities the growth of thriving rivers and seas.

Bad news for our rivers as Government plans to push water company regulation even harder towards economic growth over cleaning up the environment👇 assets.publishing.service.go… Instead of a duty on company growth, @Ofwat needs a green duty to clean up our struggling waterways🌊

You are correct @manx_utilities its not due to defective infrastructure, because that would require there to be infrastructure in the first place rather than it simply being pumped out raw every single day. #endsewagepollution

Sewage seen near the shoreline on a western beach was not due to "defective infrastructure", Manx Utilities has said. bbc.in/3OHTHQL
