2024 Stormwater Slueths

 Our 2024 Eco Warriors began their citizen science job of monitoring the Tread Lightly Stormwater Slueth Trap to see what effect Wakaaranga is having on our estuary. Last time the trap was monitored there were sadly 36 pieces of litter. 

We sorted the contents into leaves and litter.  The litter was surprising! There was a $1 coin and a metal K as well as a Mobilo block and a dice. There was of course the usual food wrapper items. We were so happy to see that there was only 17 litter items altogether this time.

How could we further reduce the litter going down the drain from Wakaaranga?

Harvey - Encourage more people to bring litterfree lunches

Izzabella - we could make a slide show to show the classes what's in the drain and where it will go

Samuel - we could do a litterfree lunch competition

Harvey - we could put up posters around the school to encourage keeping the drain clean

Samadhi - we could put on a show

Stay tuned for our stormwater action!
