🌦️The UK is increasingly breaking heat and rainfall records due to the climate emergency, the Met Office has warned.🌊There’s no doubt that our rivers will need to become more climate resilient to cope with these changes. 🧵⬇️
💯Earlier today in Fulham, James and Lake joined our other fantastic volunteers our 'River Litter Detective' event, as part of our Thames21 River Watch programme. Thank you to all who helped to spruce up the Thames today.

Everyone has a role to play: manufacturers can transform their practices, policymakers can introduce stronger regulations, and consumers can make more mindful choices.⬇️

🧹Plastic pollution is a challenge we can all help tackle. By reducing plastic production, rethinking product design, promoting reuse, and improving waste management systems, we can significantly cut this pollution.⬇️

Thames21 is an environmental charity dedicated to restoring rivers across London and the Thames Basin. We tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis while connecting communities with their local rivers - encouraging everyone to enjoy, care for, and protect them for the long term.

Here's how we can all help:
♻️ Manufacturers: Reduce plastic waste and improve sustainability.
📝 Policymakers: Introduce strong, effective regulations.
🗑️Consumers: Make more mindful choices in your everyday life.⬇️

Plastic pollution affects us all, and tackling it requires collective action - there’s no single solution.⬇️

☺️As Sir David Attenborough recently reminded us: “The best place to enjoy nature is close to home.” This is the River Wandle – a tributary of the River Thames.
