Rivers are our lifeblood. We rely on them for clean water, food, leisure, health and our well-being. They are a precious resource that is under serious threat from us, from the way we live and the everyday things we do – without thinking about what the consequences are for our drinking water, wildlife and the people we love.
Tackling the effects of climate change and the harmful actions of billions of people can seem daunting, and we know that governments and business have a major part to play in protecting our planet and our way of life … but so do each and every one of us.
It’s time to Act for Eden
clean, healthy rivers
for everyone
...FOR LIFE!
It's up to all of us to do our bit to combat the climate and nature crisis. If we all then tiny, seemingly insignificant actions when done by thousands of people all add up to a massive change for our rivers!
What are the three biggest things we can all do that will help rivers?
Simply, use water wisely and don't waste a drop of the precious stuff, reduce pollution by stopping chemicals and plastic waste from being flushed, poured or blown into watercourses, and protect nature by stopping alien invasive species in their tracks and ensuring future abundance of native species.
