Recipes Cleaning Products

I expected the article to be about the Brisbane River that weaves it way right through the middle of the city of Brisbane as rivers in big cities are usually polluted because of industry. Not that Brisbane is very big only 1.6milion people call it home.

The story was however about the Noosa river right in the heartland of the beautiful Sunshine coast. The culprit according to the paper, a nearby Macadamia nut farm's use of pesticides, leeching into the river.

This article made me think about how many chemicals we wash into the river systems and oceans every time we clean our home, wash our dishes or cars.
