All of England’s rivers have failed quality tests for pollution, and the River Thames has some of the highest levels of microplastics of all rivers on the planet.
Our great rivers are dying, and that means we are too!
But it's not just in the UK, rivers are dying all over the world. Experts say that unless we act now, two-thirds of the world’s population could face safe water shortages in the next 2 years. It will affect billions of us! We need urgent global action to turn this around -- and right now, we have a chance to get it!
Countries are about to gather for the first UN Water Conference in almost 50 years to consider bold plans to restore the world's dying rivers and secure water as a fundamental human right. Insiders say that with enough public pressure, we could win unprecedented protections for rivers and the water they carry. But laggard governments and big corporations will fight back to derail action!
So let's build a massive groundswell of public support for Earth's water and deliver the voices of people everywhere in deafening flood to save our precious lakes, rivers, and freshwater ecosystems while we still can!
