Our creek isn't clean anymore.
It's full of dirt.
EXPOSED
SOIL
Rain washes away exposed
soil, which ends up in YOUR
streams.
Cover it up!
|
I can't play in the stream anymore.
It's yucky now.
YUCKY STUFF
What goes down the storm drain—oil,
lawn chemicals, paint, and other yucky stuff—makes its way
into YOUR streams.
Don't feed the storm drain! |
I can't hunt for crawdads anymore.
They can't live in our stream now.
EXCESS
FERTILIZER
Rain can carry
excess fertilizer
and other chemicals—applied
to crops—into YOUR streams.
Save $$$ and protect streams!
|
My grandpa says we should keep livestock
droppings out of streams.
ANIMAL
WASTE
Animal poop from farm
animals and loving pets, left
on the ground, can dissolve in
the rain and then be carried
to YOUR streams.
Keep it up—off the land! |
I wonder where all that stuff ends up.
_______
LAWN
FERTILIZER
Spring rains can wash lawn
fertilizer into YOUR streams.
Think Fall and use less!
|
I hope all that stuff isn't in my creek.
________
SEWAGE
Believe it or
not, seepage from
septic systems or sewage
from straight pipes will end up
in YOUR streams.
Get to the bottom of it! |
