THE clock has been turned back to present a quirky but serious message to boaters on Windermere.
A light-hearted ‘Greener Boating’ film has been made in the style of a public information film from the 1940s and 1950s to ask lake users to think about winter preparations and how good practice all the year will lead to healthy water.
The short film is the latest from environmental champions Windermere Reflections and sees the host steer viewers through the best practice options to keep lakes clean and safe.
“The film is a great way to remind boaters that just a few simple steps can prevent pollution, reduce the potential spread of non-native species and keep Windermere beautiful,” said spokesman Natalie Bibby.
Sponsored by Winder-mere Marina Village and Windermere Lake Cruises, it can be viewed on at www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1GIXM-cKY0
