On my blog, tell you:
1) The names of the rivers.
2) The location of the rivers.
3) What is being done to clean up the rivers (if anything).

Wairua river
Name of the river:
|
Wairua
|
Location of the river:
|
Northland
|
What they are doing to help clean river:
|
Lots of people are putting rubbish in rivers that's what's
polluting them so they are trying to put the rubbish in landfills |
Tukituki
Name of the river:
|
Tukituki
|
Location of the river:
|
Hawkes Bay
|
What is being done to help clean the river:
|
They are keeping people and dogs out of river and
putting fences up to stop stock from going in. |
I think it is silly that people are blaming farmer for river pollution because yes stock do make a
wee bit, but what about all the rubbish and plastic that is going in to the rivers and lakes stock
don’t make that mess.

Hi there Jess,
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, Wairua and Tukituki River are unfortunately on the list of polluted rivers in New Zealand. It's very unfortunate that a country as beautiful as ours also has its disturbing secrets. We must continue to take action and protect our lakes, the rivers, and our environment and there are many ways we can all help our country and the planet.
Once again, I love that you have set out your work in tables. All your information is presented very clearly and it's very easy to follow. I'm glad to know that people have started taking action and are putting fences up to keep everyone out of the rivers. Thank you for sharing your opinion, I also think that it's unfair that farmers are receiving so much of the blame. I hope our future here in New Zealand will look better and brighter again. Have you ever been to either of these rivers before?
Best,
Evelyn :)
