During the last few months the UK has seen unprecedented levels of raw sewage being dumped into it's rivers and seas.  -Seemingly whenever it rains.  Wether by accident or design, many water companies seem, at the very least, unconcerned by the current state of affairs.  Buoyed (see what I did there?) by a consensus that the government (or at least a majority of local MPs) are also happy to let this happen. 

 

Many members of public are blissfully unaware that swimming at a lot of beaches after (in many cases) even slight rainfall means they are actually swimming in, essentially, raw sewage.

 

As a surfer and swimmer and paddler, I don't want myself (or my family) to have to check an app every time we're thinking about getting in the sea, just to check wether or not we stand a real risk of getting:

-Stomach Upsets,  

-Ear Infections,

-Eye Infections,

-Chest Infections,

-Hepatitis,

-E-Coli etc, etc. 

 

In order for the general public to get annoyed about this, the general public need to know about this.  So I made this poster to help draw attention to the problem in a (hopefully) fun way.

​

If you want to help spread the word then please:

-Download and print this poster.

-Fill in the name of your local offending water company or MP (or both) in the space at the bottom.

-Put up the poster at your local sewage-ridden beach.
