Guide To Water Friendly Household Products

[temi]

The use of water-friendly household products is critical for the future health of aquatic habitats. Products which contain high levels of phosphates and other nasties are slowly destroying freshwater beauty spots all over the world, as they encourage excessive plant growth â?? phosphates are actually a nutrient for certain plants, and are commonly used in plant feeds. The reasons excessive plant growth in our rivers is a problem are easy to understand. Algae reduces oxygen levels in the water which kills off fish and other wildlife, stops delicate plants from growing and can be harmful to pets and humans (how many of you have dogs that dive into water at every opportunity?). Excessive algae and aquatic plant life also inhibits boat navigation, and the problem is getting so bad now that British Waterways have asked those living aboard houseboats â??to use only phosphate-free detergentsâ?? Itâ??s really important for everyone to do their bit in reducing their water impact â?? if everyone made small changes in the everyday products they use it would make a huge difference to the overall health of our rivers â?? the best products being bio-degradable and phosphate free.
