 Do
you know what's going down your drain?
Every
time we wash our hands, clean our drains, or water our lawns, we can add
our wastes to the water flowing into Boston Harbor. Toxic products from
our households threaten fish, shellfish and the water in which we swim
and boat. Fertilizers from our lawns and gardens can increase aquatic
plant growth in shallow bays and inlets, using up oxygen needed to support
other marine life.
Small amounts of pollution
from many different sources are adding up to a big problem for our oceans.
Multiply the impacts of a single household's waste by a million households
we have a significant source of pollution.
But YOU can
make a difference -- learn how you can protect the environment!
