Water pollution

Water pollution

________________________

• Bottles, Rubbish bags, Dippers, Boxes, Glass bottles and many more items have been thrown into the sea.

• When Cows are around the creeks or lakes they poop in the water which causes water pollution.

• Water pollution kills all sea animals. The plastics and other rubbish that gets thrown into the water is what sea animals eat and it’s very bad for them.

• In New Zealand we clean out the water that we get from our taps and other water pipes.
