Getting ready for Thanksgiving? 🦃 Here is a pro tip: Instead of pouring grease down the drain, save it in a separate container and dispose of it in a covered bin, or reuse it for additional recipes! 😋🥧 Remember, oils and fats are insoluble in water. When dumping oil down the sink, it can clog drains, resulting in sewer spills and water pollution. 💧 Think Blue during this Thanksgiving, San Diego! 💙🌊💙 #ThinkBlueSanDiego #SanDiego #PreventPollution #PollutionPrevention

Started by a group of concerned citizens 20 years ago, this foundation acts as a steward for the San Diego’s namesake river and is dedicated to making it a truly regional asset valued by all San Diegans.
This organization recently challenged San Diegans to take the “ 52 Ways to Love Your Water” pledge and take small weekly actions to help protect our waterways.
