Did you now that 1 litre of oil can pollute 1 million litres of water? That’s a lot of water from a little but of oil!

So part of saving water is keeping it clean but not polluting with oil. Some ways we can help…

• don’t use oil if we really don’t have to – try non stick cooking trays and stuff
• check cars for oil leaks and fix them soon
• don’t throw oil down the sink – pour it in the bin, add it to compost or take to a drop off point (depending on type of oil)
• make sure boats & ships don’t have leaks or spills
• don’t leave oil where it can be knocked over and spill into creeks or drains
• walk as much as possible to use less oil & petrol
