XR Activists Put A Giant Banner Against Ground Waters Pollution In Toulouse
A climber uses ropes to put the banner (6m wide and 40m length) under the St-Pierre bridge in Toulouse. Activists from XR put a giant banner reading 'Toulouse waters contaminated, who's protect our ground waters ?' on the St-Pierre bridge in Toulouse to denounce the public works industries as they operate gravel quarries in the phreatic tables of the Ariege and Garonne rivers. After extracting sand and gravel, they put public works waste in the quarries thus polluting the ground water with aluminium, polystyrene, concrete, etc. These phreatic tables are already running low due to the persistent drought in France and they are used for drinking water of Toulouse amid other towns along the Ariege and Garonne river. This water is also used for irrigation. Toulouse. France. March 4th 2023 (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
