Oh my GOODNESS I’ve wanted to see this for ages! 🥳 Alders contain tannins that leach into gathering raindrops, dyeing the liquid with colour. The effect is *stunning*. This Alder (Alnus glutinosa) I came across was glinting gold, amber & deep wine red. How beautiful is that! 😍

Heavy rain can quickly overwhelm our sewers and storm tanks when combined with wastewater from your toilets, sinks and showers. To protect homes and businesses, #StormOverflows are used to release the water: ow.ly/2SWt50LxKJa

With talk of solar panels & farmland - a reminder the land req'd for #solar panels alone to provide *all global energy is 450,000 km2, 0.3% of the global land area of 149 million km2 – less than the current land footprint of #FossilFuel infrastructure 🤯carbontracker.org/reports/th…

A really impactful if disturbing infographic. The link between rising CO2 and our changing climate is undeniable #ClimateCrisis

As expected January ended up a very dry month. For England it was the ninth driest since 1862 with an average of just 38% of normal rainfall. Some parts considerably less than that.

Every day I meet intelligent, educated people, who have no idea we are sitting on the precipice of total climate breakdown and ecological collapse. They don’t realise that it is in years, not centuries that we will see disaster unfold. The media have failed us catastrophically.

A great panel moderated by @British_Water's Lila Thompson asking, with tougher goals towards green operations and circular economy, what challenges are we faced with when it comes to sustainability? Andrea Gysin @thameswater "We need to do more, we need to push boundaries" #EFS21
