After our first attempt at #DirtyWater Wave 4 was washed away by Storm Antoni last weekend, we returned to Medley and Donnington Bridges in #Oxford today. This coincided with the release of a report that 90% of England’s most precious river habitats are blighted by raw sewage and farming pollution.

XR Oxford's July Newsletter, featuring our #DirtyWater protest and news of our next Introduction session is here!

https://www.xroxford.org/2023/07/2573/

On 1 July, members of XR Oxford gathered at Port Meadow’s Rainbow Bridge to raise awareness for the rampant sewage pollution in our rivers.

They bannered the bridge with messages of ‘dirty politics equals dirty water’ and ‘unite for clean water’ and gave out leaflets to passers-by.

This action is part of the wider #DirtyWater campaign calling for an end to sewage pollution.

Yay! We beat the skankies. Red Sox: DUB!

While the Charles is far cleaner than the #DirtyWater of the past, we can't actually recommend eating pizza that went for a swim. 🍕😂

Thanks @MattWBZ @wbznewsradio for the laughs.

Firm releases almost 800kg of ‘forever chemical’ a year into Lancashire river https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/29/pfas-forever-chemical-river-wyre-lancashire-environment-agency?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

“Very persistent, mobile and toxic”. And not illegal. Utterly bewildering

South West Water fined £2.15m for dumping sewage in sea and rivers https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/27/south-west-water-fined-215m-for-dumping-sewage-in-sea-and-rivers?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Systemic pollution over 4 years = £2.15m fine.

Is that all? Outrageous. Pathetic in comparison with their profits and shareholder dividends.

Our long national nightmare is over #Baseball #RingTheBell #DirtyWater #AllezLesExpos (😢 )

Members of Extinction Rebellion (XR) installed 30 satirical blue plaques across Winchester as part of a nationwide protest.

The plaques read: “Steve Brine, Winchester MP, voted to block a law requiring water companies to dump less raw sewage in our waterways and seas on 20th October 2021.”

Extinction Rebellion Wimborne continue to commemorate Michael Tomlinson’s sewage vote in Parliament in October 2021. We’re placing blue plaques all over the place! Here’s the latest - Riverside in Wimborne

Yesterday members of XR Oxford joined the National Dirty Water Action at Wolvercote Mill Stream.

We unveiled a blue plaque to commemorate the fact that, in October 2021, the government was presented with an opportunity to regulate water companies more effectively – and chose to vote against it

It is outrageous that water companies are allowed to pump untreated sewage into our waterways, making them unsafe for water users, and damaging delicate ecosystems. No more #DirtyWater!

This is my MP, Robert Courts. He has just voted to extend, for 15 years, the dumping of raw sewage into our rivers and seas by our greedy water companies.
