Description
|
Make your mark in the West End on Saturday, Aug. 23, by joining teams of volunteers in attaching “No Dumping, Drains to Puget Sound” markers next to hundreds of storm drains in the Skyline Elementary School neighborhood. The fun happens from 9 a.m. to Noon, with free lunch to follow. Not everyone knows that the water that flows down storm drains empties directly into rivers, lakes and Puget Sound where people swim, fish and boat. Storm drain marking helps everyone keep Tacoma’s waterways clean by reminding us not to leave oil, paint, pesticides, pet waste or litter in driveways or on streets where it can easily be washed by hoses or rainfall into the nearest storm drain. Nothing but rain goes down the drain.
Please pre-register with Jeanine Riss, (253) 383-2429 or jriss@healthybay.org and meet at Skyline Elementary School, 2301 North Mildred St. This event is co-sponsored by Citizens for a Healthy Bay, the City of Tacoma and the Pierce Conservation District.
