Wet wipe island has ‘changed course of Thames’

25 Meith

The Thames now has a “wet wipe island." It's so big that it is diverting the river! Wet wipes contain plastic and don't degrade, which is why they also block sewers and drains. Please stop flushing wet wipes!

I’m at

#WorldOceansDay to deliver a clear message to world leaders about the impact of +1.5°C on our oceans. The effects are unthinkable and we cannot ignore this crisis for any longer.

LGIM is proud to partner with @LewisPugh the United Nations Ambassador for the Oceans. Together we celebrate #WorldOceanDay and we are united in our aim to tackle the climate crisis. More details on Lewis’s next climate-focused swim will be shared in September

The science is that at 1.5°C warming, 70% of coral reefs disappear. At 2°C warming, 99% of coral reefs disappear. It's now up to all of us to do everything we can to avoid these awful scenarios.

Thank you Tom. With everything else happening in the world right now, I believe that potentially losing 99% of all coral reefs in our lifetime is a story that deserves all the attention we can give it. 🙏

A true underdog story: This sea turtle successfully evaded the jaws of a tiger shark. Photographer Declan DeHaas captured the stunning overhead footage off the coast of Western Australia and confirmed the turtle ultimately made it to shore safely. Nature is awesome.
