Blue Health and SAS

11th May 2022 by Jack Middleton

Here at SAS we understand the connection between the environment and our mental health and wellbeing.

Demand to #EndSewagePollution Reverberates Across the UK

28th April 2022 by Amy Slack

What a day. More proof, if any was needed, that the demand to #EndSewagePollution has wide public support and water companies can’t bury their head in the sand any longer. Yes, the first national day of action for water quality made huge waves right across the UK on Saturday and we really felt the full […]

What Makes Wood So Good? The Benefits of Wooden Boards

1st April 2022 by Emma Cowley

Did you know that over 16,000 single-use polystyrene bodyboards are discarded on UK beaches every single year? Horrific isn’t it? Unfortunately many beach visitors may feel that they have little alternative than to buy a cheap bodyboard for their beach holiday. But we reckon that’s because few know about the humble wooden bellyboard… Wooden bellyboards […]

What a Total Shit Show

31st March 2022 by Amy Slack

New data released by the Environment Agency, today, shows that water companies were responsible for pouring sewage into river, lakes, estuaries and our seas a disgusting 372,500 times in 2021. That’s an eye watering 2.6 million hours of sewage flowing into some of our most treasured ecosystems, where wildlife should be free to flourish and […]

Kicking the can down the river: Government reveals sewage plans.

31st March 2022 by Amy Slack

Today, the Government has launched a public consultation on its Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan (SODRP) setting out targets for how it expects water companies to ‘eliminate ecological harm from sewage discharges’. And surprise, surprise, the targets set completely fail to acknowledge the urgency we need to address the problem. The sewage pollution crisis is […]

Stopping the Race to the Bottom

28th March 2022 by Josh Harris

We are living through unprecedented times, with a cascade of enormous global challenges sweeping across society. We’re buffeted from one catastrophe to the next – humanitarian, health, environment, climate, biodiversity and war – with perhaps previously unseen scale and pace. We may have experienced one or two simultaneous crises of worldwide magnitude, but has it […]

Give Our Rivers a Voice. Sign the petition for 200 river bathing waters

8th March 2022 by Amy Slack

In just a few weeks’ time, the Environment Agency will be releasing new data on the scale of sewage discharges released by water companies in 2021. And we don’t expect this to present a pretty picture! Over 90% of sewage outflows pump sewage directly into rivers. And with rivers flowing into the sea, it’s clear […]
