Washing your car at home? 🚗
Don’t wash over your driveway 🏠
Soap and grime can run off into our storm drains 🫧
Instead wash your car over your lawn 🏡
The ground will absorb the water 💦
And the grass will filter out pollutants 🌱

Taking your dog on a walk? 🐕🐩
Don’t forget your pet waste bags! 💩
Pet waste is not fertilizer ❌
It takes a long time to break down ⏳
And can have harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites 🦠
If you leave it on the ground, rain will carry your pet’s waste into our river and creeks,
contaminating our water supply and that of wildlife 🌧🚱
