A brief story of humans impact on the reef from pollution in storm water.

2. Humans create a heap of waste http://newsouthwales.inetgiant.com.au/sydney/home/waste-management

3. There are two ways we deal with this waste http://choicehrsolutions.com/

4. 1. The right way http://keetsa.com/blog/recycle/new-law-in-california-curbs-theft-from-recycling-bins/

5. 2. The wrong way http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_7450351_safe-disposal-waste-products.html

6. The wrong way can really damage the reef http://ckmurray.blogspot.com/2010/09/waste-revisited-green-bag-revolution.html

7. In urban areas humans can litter and dispose of chemicals incorrectly http://twatts.co.uk/hazardouswaste.php

8. When it rains the waste is transports by water across the land http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/10/coal-plants-dump-thousands-gallons-waste-drinking-water-day.php
