The Environment Agency has dropped its objection to controversial gas exploration plans in Yorkshire that campaigners have described as exploiting “a loophole in the government’s fracking moratorium”. Story by @tesscolley.bsky.social www.endsreport.com/article/1928...

“Farmers are being deceived by the water companies. They're being misled" - @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 22 tonnes of microplastics are dumped on farmland PER DAY via sludge - read this snapshot of my investigation outside the paywall (for a limited time!) www.endsreport.com/article/1924...

This includes staff at the regulator warning 3 years ago that practically all microplastics that enter sewage treatment works end up in sludge bound for farmland. My investigation has revealed that this is estimated to be 22 TONNES of microplastics per day. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

These docs have revealed the extent to which the EA has sought to persuade the government to implement its plans to tighten the regulatory net on sludge, including eye-watering evidence of the risk of not doing so - and how the agency was ignored. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Last year, lawyers representing @fightingdirty.bsky.social took the EA to court over whether its decision to remove a deadline for reforming sludge regulations was unlawful. The group lost its case - but via FOI I got hold of the docs submitted by the EA. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We might have lost our court case, but the papers arising from it, analysed by the brilliant Tess Colley, are a goldmine of information about the disgraceful way in which farmers have been misled by the water companies and ministers have failed to act. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

22 tonnes of microplastics are dumped on farms PER DAY via sewage sludge, my latest investigation has revealed. Emails and docs I obtained through FOI have exposed how this and other alarming warnings from the EA have been sat on for years. Read the story 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
