🇬🇧 This is Ed Pratt. He travelled the River Thames from source to sea and made a YouTube documentary about it. He challenged himself to stay on the water for the whole stretch, leaving from the same spot if he needed to land somewhere.

These are the types of videos that I like to watch on YouTube. Just random people doing interesting, funny or noteworthy things. Because there are a lot of people that do just that.

#RemoveTheDams, All of them!
These #ECOKillers are the hallmark of our destructive past. We don't need #HydroPower, now that we have #RenewableEnergy & #BESS as the #newgrid.
Save #WildSalmon and let these rivers run #FastAandFree from #sourcetosea.

#HydroMadness! Whether it be #WaterAbstractions or #HydroPower Dams, the impact on #WildSalmon and other aquatic species is the same; they are both #ECOKillers. #FishPassages & Trucking Schemes simply do not work as mitigation tactics. #RemoveTheDams and let these Rivers run #FreshAndFree from #SourceToSea. Everyone will benefit except #HydroGrifters. @ianjames

These mass deaths of protected #Salmon and other species are not new. They have been a product of #WaterAbstractions for decades. Only now that the fish populations are so very low is anyone paying attention to them. It's time to #RemoveTheDams and End all #WaterAbstractions and let these Rivers run #FastAndFree from #SourceToSea. Step up #SalmonLeaders and #JustSayNO.
