There are more boats and yachts in the UK than ever before. These may be privately owned, hire boats or traditional working vessels but the majority will not be fitted with a grey water tank meaning any wastewater from sinks, showers and washing machines is discharged directly into the sea, canal or river. As this water is not treated, any harmful chemicals used in the cleaning process have the potential to pollute water and harm wildlife. To solve this problem Ecotopia.co.uk have a whole host of suggestions to help you become greener.
