Drains to harbour comes to school


Today we were very lucky to have Harriet come in and help us learn more about drains and how pollution can affect fresh water and marine life. In these photos we are putting different things that may harm the environment such as chemicals, soil, rubbish found on the beach and shells into a bowl with water. We decided that everyone is responsible for pollution and not just one group of people.

  1. When you are washing you're car please don't wash it near a drain instead do it on grass,gravel or at a car wash to stop the chemicals going down the drain and harming sea life.

  2. Don't wash your paint brushes outside by a storm water drain. Its better to do it on the grass but don't wash it to much.

    1. Great comment Hunter, but paintbrushes are meant to be washed out in the sink so that the sewage treatment plant can process the pollutant.

  12. Wash your car far away from drains so wash your car on grass . If you wash your car close to the drains it will be bad pollution for the drain pipes because it can cause a healthy stream into a unhealthy stream .
