The Water Foundation
The Water Foundation's mission is to increase consumer interest in positive enviromental action. They function as a positive bridge between industry and enviromentally concerned consumers.
What you can do
- Your storm sewer probably goes into a body of water somewhere that could eventuallyend up in the oceans. When rain washes away from your lawn, driveway or property, chemicals go with it down the storm sewer. Remember to be Frog Friendly to our oceans.
- Wetlands are home to one third of our nation's endangered species, and home for thousands of fish and wildlife. Almost two thirds of the fish caught on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts depend on wetlands for survival. Adopt a wetland in your community.
- Never dispose of household cleaner, oil, pesticides, paint thinners or medicines by washing them down your drain. They can pass through city sewage plants into our rivers. Our river can and do run into our oceans. With careful disposal you can help purify our waters.
