It may be easy to ignore the litter in the streets but... the litter will return one way or another...

🌧️🚗💧 Did you know? Microplastics can hitch a ride on stormwater runoff - traveling from our streets and parking lots straight into streams, rivers, and oceans. 🐟

Once there, they're eaten by tiny aquatic life, moving up the food chain until they're back on our plates as seafood. 🍤

When we manage stormwater properly, we help keep plastic out of our waterways and our food.

✅ Pick up litter before it hits the drain
✅ Keep driveways and curbs clean and clear
✅ Choose native plants and green solutions that soak up runoff

Clean streets = clean streams = healthier oceans.
