Floating Poo Emoji's

[jezz]

In Cambridge, 

Giant models of poo emojis have been floated along a city centre river to raise awareness about water pollution.



Little Blue Dot, a group of climate activists, organised the event in Cambridge, dubbed "Sewage Saturday", to highlight the amount of untreated human waste being pumped into waterways.



The models were placed in the River Cam near Jesus Green.

I had to laugh at this. What a way to promote the damage done to rivers with sewage. Made a statement for sure.

Pollution is ruining our water ways,lakes and rivers. Blue-green algae is a continuing (poison) threat. Plastics and junk litter is everywhere.

Garbage,construction waste and fast food packaging are littering our roads and highways, yet never do I see charged violaters or fines.

There are remote spots that continually have garbage dumped and a cheap camera could be set to catch offenders, but, no one wants any contentious issues,easier to 'live and let pollute than to be proactive.

Well, that's just plain shitty.

That blue green algae is very concerning.  Yet, your right, nothing gets done about it.
Our lake out at camp has had that algae. The algae buildup in the canal we are on is bad. My hubs has a water pump he uses to spray and circulate the water in our canal. Two years ago I got pneumonia and I bet it was from the water droplets breathed in from the spray. I have stayed away from the spray ever since. Toxic!

Well I don't think we should ignore the crap. But yes, it's a lot of crap for sure.
