So why bother telling us about the river Thames? When you have plenty to campaign against at home.

Because unlike you Brits we have free speech over here.

YOU DID!!! You said you bought a Land Rover Evoque - there is no such thing, but there is a Range Rover Evoque and I pointed out to you that if you really did own an Evoque you would know that it was a Range Rover not a Land Rover because it stated this quite clearly on the bonnet!

I am intrigued to know why you bought a British product because clearly you consider anything to do with GB to be inferior?

No NickyAnn, yet again your world knowledge lets you down. We have free speech here too - we are a democracy.

I used to play on the "beach" at the Tower when I was kid, I'm still alive.
Use your free speech at home then and clean up your own rivers

NickyAnn- both the USA and GB have issues with pollution. The following was taken from an article in The Hoya magazine, an article written in 2015 by Margaret Heftler:-

"After years of unchecked sewage flowing into the Potomac River, President Lyndon B. Johnson called the river “a national disgrace” in 1965. Although efforts to clean up the river have improved the quality of the water, continued concerns about its cleanliness prompted conservationists to add a little sparkle to the muddy water.

The cleanliness of the Potomac has long been an issue, exacerbated by the doubled flow of the District’s raw, partially treated sewage into the river between 1932 and 1956, according to the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin.

Potomac Conservancy President Hedrick Belin described the state of the Potomac in the 1960s.

“If you came up the Potomac toward Georgetown from the national airport, in August, between Georgetown and the Kennedy Center there’d be a solid green mat of algae that your boat would have to go through,” Belin said.

Johnson’s 1965 proclamation catalyzed an effort to conserve waterways nationwide and culminated in the Clean Water Act of 1972, which increased funding for the sewage system and marked a turning point in pollution prevention.

“A large result of the Clean Water Act [is that] there’s been a 40-year focus … of investing millions of dollars in updating sewer treatment plants,” Belin said.

Despite this progress, pollution remains a major issue. A 2014 report titled “State of the Nation’s River,” released by the Potomac Conservancy, expressed worry about continued contributors to river pollution, including aging sewage infrastructure and the disappearance of healthy forests, which prevent runoff.

Sewage remains the largest pollution contributor; there are around 40 locations where sewage could release a staggering amount of bacteria and waste during periods of rainfall.

Swimming in any of the rivers or streams in the District is illegal. The sole exception to this law is the nation’s Triathlon, though even this event has been cancelled twice in recent years because of hazardous levels of sewage in the water.

Maxwell Menard (SFS ’16), a member of the Georgetown crew team, described some of the problems that he has encountered with the Potomac.

“I don’t think we’ve had any health issues because of the Potomac, but we do run into debris. … Garbage, a lot of big logs, also a deer carcass once, it’s a pretty steady amount of debris and garbage,” Menard said. “We just take it as part of the river, we don’t really question it.”

Additionally, Belin explained that the state of the river continues to have a unnatural effect on the river’s bass, causing more than 80 percent of the male smallmouth bass to lay eggs.

“It’s interfering with their biological systems, which is clearly a canary in the coal mine,” Belin said."

I'm not proud as a British citizen of that photograph taken of the Thames, but judging by the foregoing your Potomac river is no better. Pollution is a world-wide issue and one that the USA is not innocent of by any manner or means.
