THE POLLUTERS OF OUR RIVERS ARE GETTIN AAY WITH IT — SEE CHANNEL 4 DOCUMENTARY

View in browser Dear John, Did you catch the first episode of "Dirty Business" last night on Channel 4? It’s a heartbreaking look at how polluters and a failing system that continuously lets them break the rules have devastated lives and poisoned ecosystems. If you missed it, you might believe this was just another TV drama. But it’s not – it’s real life. Despite the UK government’s promises of action, our water crisis hasn’t gone away. Our rivers are polluted, beaches are filthy and wildlife is vanishing. Who’s to blame? Polluting companies and a succession of governments that keep letting them off the hook. But here’s a ray of hope – a new water bill is coming. It could put people and nature before profit. But we have a long way to go to make sure the government gets it right. There are no quick fixes to the challenges we face. But together, we can push for stronger protections, public health safeguards and real accountability. Will you help me and my team keep up the pressure? Your regular gift will power us to challenge decision makers and fight for the clean rivers and seas we all deserve. I'LL JOIN WITH A REGULAR GIFT Regular gifts allow us to act fast, plan ahead and stay independent. They are our lifeline in the fight for people and planet. Let’s make sure this bill delivers lasting protection for our water, health and wildlife. For generations to come. With hope, Kierra Campaigner, Friends of the Earth PS See my original email below to find out more. I emailed last month to tell you how our rivers, lakes and seas are threatened by corporate pollution. And to highlight how we’re taking action – in a few weeks nearly 25,000 people have signed our petition demanding that the government take action. Because it’s been dragging its feet. The government promised to crack down on water pollution more than a year ago. The Water Commission told it urgent action was needed last summer. But it took until January for a published vision for water to emerge. And MPs won’t see an expected new water law for months. Meanwhile, corporates – the water companies, industrial farms and other industries – are pocketing massive profits from environmental ruin. This needs to change. Urgently. Will you help to make that change happen? Our campaign for clean water needs your support – with a donation you can make 2026 the year polluters clean up their act. I'LL JOIN WITH A REGULAR GIFT Whether it’s water companies pumping sewage into our seas, toxic slurry from factory farms or forever chemicals seeping into waterways – polluters are still contaminating our water. The new water bill will come out later this year. And it could finally hold polluters to account. But there’s a risk this new law will let them off the hook again. We can’t let that happen. Unlike the corporations, our work relies on donations from people like you – we’re truly people powered. We need you to make our successes possible. Will you help us get a win for water in 2026? I'LL JOIN WITH A REGULAR GIFT With hope, Kierra Friends of the Earth PS Don’t worry if you can’t donate today – you’re already having a huge impact.
