Take into account that…
-Only one battery in nature pollutes 167 litres of water.
-Each litre of used cooking oil that we pour down the drain pollutes 1000 litres of water and, just in
Spain, we throw away 350 million litres of used oil a year.

And here, at HidroMuxía, we look after water every day!
We close this programme with The Earth Song, by Michael Jackson.
