Matt Staniek named in The Sunday Times alternative honours of 2023
We are very proud that Matt has been named in The Sunday Times alternative honours of 2023.
You can see the full list here and read why Matt has been chosen below:
“Every Monday at 9am, Matt Staniek has been protesting against dumping raw sewage into Windermere by sitting on a toilet outside United Utilities’ nearby information centre until they stop. The 27-year-old zoologist, who grew up in the Lake District, started his Save Windermere campaign three years ago, initially using his savings to fund it. He now runs his campaign full-time, and was inspired by Greta Thunberg’s climate protests to send the message that he is “here to stay” until water pollution stops. A video of his “sewage strike” has been viewed more than a million times online.”
