🚗💧 Stormwater Smarts: Wash Your Car Wisely

A freshly washed car feels like summer ☀️ — but where you wash it matters. When cars are cleaned in driveways or streets, soapy water, dirt, grease, and oil flow directly into storm drains and eventually into local waterways, the Bay, and the ocean. Unlike water from sinks or toilets, stormwater is NOT treated before reaching our environment.

The good news? A few simple choices can help protect our beaches and waterways while keeping your car sparkling clean ✨

✔️ Visit a commercial car wash that captures and recycles water
✔️ Wash on gravel or grass instead of pavement
✔️ Use biodegradable soap and only what you need
✔️ Use a hose nozzle with automatic shutoff to save water
✔️ Empty wash buckets into a sink or toilet — never the street or gutter

Small actions make a big impact 🌎 Cleaner car washing habits help reduce pollution, protect marine life, and keep our beaches open and healthy.

A cleaner car + cleaner water = a win-win 💙



🚗💧 Inteligencia Pluvial: Lava Tu Auto de Forma Responsable

Nada dice verano como un auto recién lavado ☀️ — pero el lugar donde lo lavas importa más de lo que piensas. Cuando los autos se lavan en la calle o en la entrada de casa, el agua con jabón, tierra, grasa y aceite fluye directamente hacia las alcantarillas pluviales y termina en los canales locales, las Bahías y el océano. A diferencia del agua de los lavabos o inodoros, el agua de lluvia NO recibe tratamiento antes de llegar al medio ambiente.

¿La buena noticia? Pequeños cambios pueden ayudar a proteger nuestras playas y vías fluviales mientras mantienes tu auto limpio y brillante ✨

✔️ Visita un autolavado comercial que capture y recicle el agua
✔️ Lava tu auto sobre grava o césped en lugar de pavimento
✔️ Usa jabón biodegradable y solo la cantidad necesaria
✔️ Usa una boquilla con apagado automático para ahorrar agua
✔️ Vacía las cubetas en un lavabo o inodoro — nunca en la calle o alcantarilla

Las pequeñas acciones generan un gran impacto 🌎 Mejores hábitos al lavar tu auto ayudan a reducir la contaminación, proteger la vida marina y mantener nuestras playas limpias y abiertas.

Auto limpio + agua limpia = todos ganamos 💙
