Affinity Water does not care about globally threatened environment
Affinity Water has no affinity with water or any other part of the natural environment in my opinion. It just pretends it does and here is why? The company, AW, sent out a survey by e-mail using SurveyMonkey. (Sorry SM but if you let, in my opinion, unethical companies that contribute to the destruction of the environment use your services then you are guilty by association.) I replied to the survey pointing out how water companies are still discharging raw sewage into globally endangered habitats such as chalk streams and that its Save Our Streams was hypocritical. It is clear that AW is not interested in survey results, what customers really think, and is just going through the motions as it has sent out two more e-mails saying, ‘Your opinion matters’ and ‘We’d love to hear from you.’ And yet when I click on the link SM states I have already completed the survey. So my second and third opinion clearly does not matter and AW clearly don’t want to hear how badly it is treating the endangered environment and how hypocritical a company it is. Apparently, it will plant a tree for every three surveys it receives. It should be planting trees anyway without survey clicks. The company has managed to get Sandi Toksvig’s endorsement on its stream campaign. I am concerned that a woman I admire greatly may have been duped by the campaign facade but does she know what the company is doing behind the scenes? The poisoning of rivers and streams with raw sewage could mean that her endorsement leads to the media rebranding her as Sandi Toxic. Something I would not wish to see so I urge Ms. Toksvig to reconsider her endorsement of AW’s SOS campaign. It is meant to stand for Save Our Streams but Sewage Our Streams may be more appropriate. Think I might have to take the parasitoid wasp approach to AW and buy shares in the company and eat it from the inside out until it no longer can harm the British countryside. Yes, this is hard hitting but there are only about 200 chalk streams in world and, in my opinion, water companies, such as AW, are hastening their destruction. Climate change destruction does not have to be measured in football pitch proportions on a daily basis. I am not expecting to get a response as I bet AW does not even monitor opinion on sites such as this because it does not care!
