Today the Eco Leaders discovered FOUR KGS of waste in our drain litter trap. OH MY GOODNESS! What was all this waste destined for the Tamaki Estuary????
4 tiny pieces of soft plastic
6 tiny peices of hard plastic
1 bottle top
1 piece of styrofoam
AND 4 KGS OF CLAY AND LEAVES
We think this came from the recent gardening work. The left over dirt and leaves must have washed into the drain.
Unfortunately the reason our estuary is so muddy and murky and full of mangroves is from this type of thing washing down the outside drains.
What can we do??
Monique "sweep it onto a lawn instead"
Matthew "put waste in landfill not down the drain"
