and you thought fish were fun!
photographs Oil Care Campaign, well this looks like fun, Yellow Fish are appearing in the streets!
it is a campaign to remind people not to put oil and other substances down drains that are meant for rainwater only, with the message: “Only Rain Down the Drain!”
photograph Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council, the initiative has been picked up at council level in some locations, as part of the scheme, they're asking people not to pour harmful
liquids down their drains, in a statement, the council explained that pouring
oils, detergents, paint or sweeping litter into drains can be harmful to river
health, water quality and wildlife, the yellow fish images have been stencilled
on pavements next to drains which lead surface water directly to rivers during
periods of heavy rain, there is a Government web site about the Yellow Fish Project here, but if you go to it you are meet with the message:
"This document is out of date. Withdrawn on 5 August 2019"
I guess the Government are leaving it to the Water Boards across the UK to keep our rivers and beaches clean.
