so what can we all do about sewage disposal?

Personally I’d like to see wet wipes removed from the shelves, since so many stupid or utterly inconsiderate people will still flush them, no matter how much they’re asked not to, because they block the pipes.
Can’t see it happening, but we used to manage perfectly well without them.

Yes definitely a Brexit bonus.

Got rid of all the red tape don’t you know!

Even Boris Johnson's father agrees with this.

We could redirect the sewage from illegal outlets so the sewage returns to the inefficient sewage works, and the water company has to deal with it, which is what we pay it to do.

Sign the Water Quality Petition, email your MP, join beach cleans, engage young people, try to go plastic free etc. The list goes on.

Pressure MPs to change legislation so that it's illegal to dump raw sewage plus punitive fines. Seems at the moment it's a business decision to take a fine rather than invest in occasion. Nationalise. Corbyn wasn't all wrong.

Perhaps, for starters….If it’s brown, flush it down, if it’s yellow let it mellow?

'We' - the ordinary people, that is - can do very little about it apart from putting pressure on our MPs to deal with this.

Is it another Brexit bonus, I wonder?

We can't stop going to the toilet,
so what could we all do solve the situation?
