Called : Porirua Stream
Location: Wellington
Anything to help clean up the river:
They are putting up a sign near the river to let people know
that this river is restricted and that no one is able to use
it until it is cleaned up by some people. There wasn't
much information
about what were there next steps in making progress
on cleaning the stream.
Called: Whanganui Mowhanau Stream
Location: Whanganui
Anything to help clean up the river:
They test the water in a small bottle to see how polluted
it is and then they set out a crew to clean up the river
again there is not much information provided
about what there going to do next in making
progress for cleaning up the river.
Hi Hope!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing what you found about polluted rivers in New Zealand!
It is a real shame that our rivers are not being taken care of the way they should be, I believe we shouldn't have any polluted rivers due to human activity - I am really happy to hear that people are taking action though!
I used to like riding my bike down to the local river with my brother and dog in the summertime - we would spend the whole afternoon swimming and getting into mischief!
Do you spend lots of time at your local river swimming during the summer?
Nga mihi,
