Hi

Did you see my email the other week? I wrote to you because our soils, rivers, and food are facing a crisis that we simply can’t ignore.

Over 63,000 people have already signed the petition calling on the government to stop this scandal. But we’re not there yet. Can you help us reach 70,000 in the next two weeks so we can make the minister listen when the petition is handed in to the Government?

Right now, millions of tonnes of sewage sludge full of forever chemicals, microplastics, and toxins are being spread across British farmland. Farmers are told it’s safe. It isn’t. It’s poisoning the very ground that grows our food and seeping into the rivers that flow through our countryside.

Will you take just one minute today to add your name? Every signature counts — and together, we can make this impossible for the government to ignore.

We can fix this. We can protect our farmers, our soils, and our rivers.

Thank you for caring,

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

Hi

I’ve spent my life cooking and working with farmers to get the best, most honest food onto our plates. I know that great food comes from healthy soils and clean water, but both are now under serious threat.

Right now, millions of tonnes of sewage sludge (that's the solid stuff left over from the sewage treatment process) are being spread across Britain’s farmland. Farmers are told that it’s safe fertiliser, but it’s packed with forever chemicals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and other toxins. It is poisoning our soils and flowing straight into our rivers.

We can fix this. We can have clean water, healthy soil, and honest farming, but only if we demand it. Will you add your name?

What water companies are doing is unacceptable. That’s why together with River Action and Greenpeace, I’m calling on the government to clamp down on the toxic sludge being spread on UK farms. And a guarantee that water companies won’t pass the cost of their mess onto us bill-payers!

Over 50,000 people have already signed the petition demanding action to end this outrageous pollution scandal. That’s an incredible show of public passion.

But we can’t stop there. To make the government sit up, listen and act, we need to make our call for change impossible to ignore. Can you help us reach 60,000 signatures by the end of the week? And maybe a whole lot more? This is such a crazy, unacceptable situation – but also, a winnable argument. And your voice can help us win it.

Every signature adds to the pressure. So please, sign and share today. Together, we can force the government to act fast.

Thank you for standing up for our rivers, our farmers, and our food.
