Farmers say there will be 'massive ramifications' over decision to cut nitrate derogation limit
https://www.thejournal.ie/farmers-nitrates-derogation-ireland-6161674-Sep2023/
<< some of those ramifications include: the water quality improving. You know the thing Irish Farmers promised the EU if they received the derogation - the thing which year on year they failed to deliver.
The EPA site ( https://www.epa.ie/our-services/monitoring--assessment/assessment/irelands-environment/water/ ) spells it out, change in Irish farming is long overdue.

'Tire wear and tear revealed as a major contributor to waterway pollution'
https://newatlas.com/environment/tire-wear-microparticles-big-contributor-waterway-pollution/
'Many people would think β understandably due to it being the focus of much recent research β that when it comes to cars, the biggest cause of pollution is exhaust. But, in fact, wear and tear on tires has been shown to produce more particle pollution by mass.'

Hmmm, did the office of #ToryParty MP Chris Loder instigate the investigation of two locals who separately raise the issue of the #TorySewageParty enabling the dumping of untreated waste into #Rivers and #waterways Or is this the #SuellaBraverman "police must investigate every report" policy being put in place?

After the #ToryFascistDictatorship forced #RSPB england to apologise or lose charity status, the #NationalTrust also stepped in on the #EnvironmentalVandalism happening on our #Rivers, #Oceans and #WaterWays
A petition (not much use I know but it's something) from #NationalTrust to hold the #TorySewageParty to account.
Need 100k and over 87k right now - make it higher if you can.
Perhaps some in #JoinIn might sign.

Absolute madness that solely benefits business interests and real estate developers. Thankfully, in Oregon, we have stringent laws on the books preventing this idiotic rollback by the Supreme Court. The whole world is falling apart ecologically, and America is just out here wagging its proverbial dick for pollution. #EcologicalDisaster #LetTheWorldBurn #Waterways #WhyNotMorePollution

In Amsterdam, a curtain of bubbles is being used to lift up and direct water-born plastic rubbish towards collection. 42 tonnes are collected every year. A similar setup will be installed in Portugal this year.

Another week, another beaver. Or, in this case, two new beavers, as a family in Hatchmere have given birth.

Artificial Lawns
Would you cover your backyard, garden, sports field, playground or green space with old car tyres?
When considering artificial turf think:
Burning hot in summer
Unsustainable life cycle
Microplastics in waterways
Lack of biodiversity
A precautionary approach should prevail
Consider
Native Australian grasses or Native viola
"The European Union has banned this type of rubber infill due to concerns about #microplastics ending up in #waterways"
