First came Feargal Sharkey. Now, he is joined by a bright young water campaigner. Conservationist Matt Staniek runs Save Windermere, a campaign to stop all treated and untreated sewage from being discharged into England’s largest lake. His passion began after a car accident left him in a neck brace for two months and he started to notice the decline in biodiversity in the area. Michaela Strachan worked with Matt on her recent Channel 5 documentary, Swimming in Sewage: Britain’s Water Scandal. “Matt is passionate and dynamic,” she says. “He is doing all he can to make a difference.”
