On the 12th of September, Tim and Ben will embark on a ten-day expedition along the River Thames, to help raise awareness of the plight of our waterways and to promote the hand-in of our ‘Rescue our Rivers’ petition to Parliament. New investigative work carried out by Greenpeace Unearthed has revealed that across many regions of the UK, the security of our water supply came close to collapse during last year’s summer drought. Following legal advice, River Action has filed three complaints to the ASA, after a strong body of evidence suggests that Red Tractor’s advertising, website and YouTube content is misleading consumers. River Action to initiate Advertising Standards Authority complaint into Red Tractor Assurance scheme following damming environmental report River Action is a campaigning body committed to addressing the severe problem of river pollution. Our purpose is to apply pressure on industrial and agricultural producers to take greater responsibility for remedying the adverse impact their supply chains are having on the environment.
