Southern Water are the worst water company in the Country!

"Southern Water seem to have an ingrained and deep rooted disregard for the environment and the people who live in it"

Southern Water consistently deliver the worst performance of all UK water companies.

❌ Responsible for almost 2,000 sewage discharge notifications
❌ Nearly 30% of all health reports submitted to us last year came from beaches in the Southern Water region

Southern Water appear to have a deep rooted and ingrained cultural disregard for the environment and the safety of those who live in Southern England a.k.a. their customers.

We demand that Southern Water put the planet before their profits and invest to protect our rivers and coastline from sewage pollution.

Southern Water, clean up your act. Now.

Really interesting 👇

We often thing about our physcial waste and what goes into landfill however another really important aspect is the process our food goes through before it even reaches our plate.

We love this guide by on shortening your food chain.

Fat cats. Sewer rats. Water companies are treating us like 💩 💩 💩

Even during our bathing season, water companies discharge untreated sewage into our coastal waters thousands of times, all while raking in billions in profit 💰💰💰

They've been taking us for a ride but their days of pocketing huge pay-outs at the expense of people and planet are soon to be over.

Read our report. Amplify our outrage.

I've taken the last 2 weeks to do some thinking.

This year has been a crazy one in many different respects. So with the current economic climate becoming more and more challenging, I've come to the difficult decision that I'm going to be closing GoGoEco in December 😭

As many will know, we spent nearly 3 years building up The Green Weigh our pioneering previous zero waste shop. It took a lot of blood, sweat & tears and when we closed I launched GoGoEco to continue my eco journey. But unfortunately launching & maintaining a new business through Covid has proved too challenging. I guess I've just run out of steam.

GoGoEco has reached a point where it needs me to give it more time, to open up & provide much more accessibility. I've learned a lot from The Green Weigh and this time around, with GoGoEco I've created more space for my children and a little bit of time for myself. Many of you will know I work 2 jobs and to let my primary job go, to dedicate full time to GoGoEco is a risk which- during the current economic climate and rising costs- seems just too much of a risk 😣

I'm very aware that I have customers who are committed to reducing single use plastic and I'd like to say a HUGE thank you and a big sorry ❤ I hope you can understand where I'm coming from and we're so lucky to have

who offer such a great plastic free service to our community.

I'll still be offering zero waste delivery up until Christmas and there'll be 15% off all stock. I hope you might make a few more orders!

It's been such a journey and a pleasure and I'll continue to be committed to making a better future for my kids 👭👬

I hope that one day soon, plastic free shopping will become a necessity and not just a lifestyle choice. We are in the middle of a terrifying plastic crisis and I hope people understand the scale of this now. Maybe one day, GoGoEco may rise again to help people on their low waste path.

So, with many thanks, peace and love. ❤

On Saturday we stood up for our climate to show our support for 👊 and joined West Dorset Friends of the Earth on a peaceful bike protest through Bridport 💕

It's so easy to feel helpless but in this small way we could feel more empowered by taking action. We rode through town to raise awareness about taking climate action, with lots of others who wanted to take action too.

Only a handful of people complained! Mostly about our bikes blocking rights of way, or holding up traffic 🙈 Surely this small inconvenience seems so insignificant in the wide scale of what is happening. Mostly we saw the people of our town clapping, cheering, beeping and waving their support for our climate action! GO Bridport 👐 💚

As a Mum I felt so proud of our 6 and 4 year old kids, to see them on the ride feeling proud of taking action!

Ultimately, the less we do, the more the burden we are handing to our children. So standing up against the climate crisis right now is arguably the best way we can all feel more empowered 💪

Rivers full of old wet wipes? 😨
Apparently the problem is so bad that it's changing the way that some rivers flow.

There's now a bill being debated in parliament. The "Wet Wipes Bill" is trying to create legislation which will ban the sale of wipes that contain plastic.

We can all help by making sure any wipes we use are 100% natural fibres!

MPs heard about scale of problem during first reading of plastics (wet wipes) bill
