Good afternoon readcash fam! Below are some activities we must practice in order to maintain the good health of our watershed.
1. Conserve water daily. Fix leaks and do not let the faucet open when not in use.
2. Take the toxic household chemicals to the hazardous waste center instead of pouring it down the drain.
3. Used organic fertilizer.
4. Using a mulching mower can help clean yard waste.
5. Never pour used oil or antifreeze into the storm drain or the street
6. Fix leaky faucets and septic tanks to cut down on wasted water pollution
7. Add plants and trees to prevent landslide and erosion
8. It is advisable to use surfaces like woods, brick, or gravel for decks and walkways as it allows rain to soak in and not runoff.
9. Drive less- walk or bike; many pollutants in our waters come from car exhaust and car leaks.
10. Learning about watersheds can help not just the students but also to everyone to be knowledgeable on how to keep the watershed unharmed from pollution and inhabitants.
