 Protecting
our Creeks, Rivers, and the Bay From Pollution
Our
garbage may end up in our bay
A
third way for pollutants to reach the creeks and Bay is through contaminated
ground water. Rain and groundwater can slowly wash toxic chemicals out
of what we put in our landfills. Click here
to see what to do with Unwanted Chemicals. This contaminated water
carries those chemicals into our creeks and Bay. The crayfish, fish, frogs,
ducks and birds that live in our creeks and the Bay store up certain chemicals
in their bodies, and the people who eat those animals may be harmed.
Waste
water doesn't just go away,
it drains to our creeks and bay!
