The #EU #Water Framework Directive is at risk of being undermined by the industry, even though only about 40 % of all European water bodies are (estimated to be!) in "good" conditions. (https://www.wwf.eu/what_we_do/water/living_rivers_europe/, https://www.living-rivers.eu/)

Have your say before 14 April 2026:

(And don't believe the goals of the proposed changes to be "sustainable," as the Commission declares them to be.)

Two #Environmental #ActivistArt pieces, for free, public, non-commercial usage.
Over the years, I've collected a lot of activist art graphics from Tumblr, Reddit & other sites where the artist wasn't always identified. I looked up who these artists were to identify them.

The 1st is by Roger Peet.

The 2nd & 3rd are by Pete Railand.

I was a part of #StopTMX in 4 separate frontlines places across mainland BC & saw the ecocide, up close. BC NDP sent their CIRG goons in at remote areas of BC, where we had set up citizens watch stations. CIRG came to harass, beat up & eventually remove us. #RCMP protect corporate interests/profits, not citizens.

#FlashbackFriday - Freeze Framed.
Part of the #MarbleRiver in #Winter of 2022.
Taken on a trip towards Port Alice, after 5 days of blizzard conditions. Things cleared up & roads were safe enough to adventure out again. We hunkered down at a cheap motel in Port Hardy while the blizzard blew through. The only places we could buy foods/drinks were a gas station & pub - every other business that had food was shutdown.

Current EU monitoring overlooks many pollutants in Europe’s waters, focusing on an outdated list. Hundreds of harmful substances are found in European rivers. Over 450 scientists urge EU to adopt updated water pollution standards. (https://www.freshwatersciences.eu/effs/index.asp?page=NEWS&Id=6&IdItem=293&p=#Content) #ProtectWater

Water connects us all - from mountain springs to ocean depths, from morning coffee to life-saving medicine. Honor the blue thread that weaves through humanity. #ProtectWater #WorldWaterDay #CareerBeacon

What could go wrong?! 🤡 @thetyee

The goal is to excavate metallurgical coal from a 15-square-kilometre pit on Grassy Mountain in an already degraded watershed providing water for a million people in part of the province experiencing significant drought.

The group’s comprehensive study on cumulative impacts... found even limited coking coal mining would create intractable problems with water quality and quantity, including selenium contamination.

Come to hear Caitlin talk about Kus-kus-sum! Both the Millard Piercy Watershed Stewards and Project Watershed Society are part of the Conservation Partnership, and we are thrilled to help promote this event.
