A massive thanks to all the #volunteers who participated in the clean-up effort of fat mixture in Hanko - over two months, a total of 25 tonnes of fat was collected by all actors and locals combined! This unfortunate tank washing pollution incident has taught us a lot! yle.fi/a/74-2015471...
Hangon rannoilta kerättiin noin 25 000 kiloa rasvarakeita
Jäterasva valui mereen Nesteen tankkerista. Se peitti kaikki Hangon eteläpuoliset rannat ja sitä kulkeutui myös Tammisaaren kansallispuistoon.

Let's keep the momentum going to the next #ISA meetings, in July!

Vihreä siirtymä on välttämätön muutoksessa kohti kestävää taloutta ja yhteiskuntaa - siitä syystä on myös välttämätöntä toteuttaa se luonnon, vesistöjen ja ympäristön kannalta kestävästi!

Suomalaiset eivät hyväksy vesistöjen tilan vaarantamista vihreän siirtymän nimissä
Itämeri- ja ympäristöjärjestöjen teettämän kyselytutkimuksen mukaan suomalaisten näkemys on, etteivät uudet vihreän siirtymän hankkeet saa vaarantaa vesistöjen tilaa.
