Clean Streets = Clean Streams! Did you know storm drains lead to local waterways?
Litter, fluids, and chemicals in parking lots, driveways, and streets are carried via runoff to storm drains. Then, directly to local bodies of water - especially after long or intense periods of rain.
Participate in this year's #FallWaterwaysCleanup to #KeepRocklandBeautfiul and learn more about ways to prevent pollution in storm water runoff!

It offers a detailed history on humanity's past mistakes, and, more importantly, provides reason for us all to stay engaged, and to #ThinkGlobalActLocal
