Water companies have been ordered to tackle levels of #PFAS in drinking water for over six million people in the UK 💧

The only true way to protect our water sources from #foreverchemicals is through a universal restriction. We need to ban PFAS as a whole group🔽

It’s illegal to use a bulldozer in a national park, so why is destructive industrial fishing allowed in supposedly protected areas in UK waters?

If you think it doesn’t make sense either, now is the time to take action:

NO fossil fuel investments.
END all fossil fuel subsidies.
END fossil fuel single-use plastic.
REDUCE all fossil fuel plastic production.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵
