But to keep it that way, we must all dive in and do our part. Reducing stormwater pollution in our neighborhoods and communities is easy when We All Think Blue.

Did you know? 🤔 At least 8 million tons of plastic trash enters the ocean every year‼ Trash that gets left on the ground or overflows from trash cans 🗑 gets carried through our storm drain system and into the ocean. 💧 In turn, animals eat the trash or get tangled up and hurt by it. 🐬🐠🦐🦞🦀 To raise awareness and help the community understand the importance of pollution prevention, @sdgirlscouts Daisy Troop #4672 designed a mermaid using plastic trash found on San Diego beaches for their Take Action Project. 🌼 🧜♀️🌊 So, what does the Girls Scout Daisy Troop recommend you do? ✔ Pick up your trash! ✔ Take it with you when you leave the beach. ✔ Find another trash can if one is full. ✔ Recycle! Thank you Daisy Troop #4672! 🌼 . . . #ThinkBlueSanDiego #SanDiego #GirlScoutsSanDiego #GirlScoutsDaisyTroop #StormwaterPollution #PollutionPrevention #WaterPollution #ZeroWaste #sdgirlscouts

🧐 Did you know that power washing can contribute to polluting our local waterways if not done properly? 💦 High-pressure washing, power washing and hosing down outdoor surfaces can cause ocean pollution when wash water picks up pollutants and carries them to the local waterways via the storm drain system. ⚠️ That’s why it’s so important to follow the 3 C’s when using water to clean – you MUST have a plan to Control, Contain, Capture and dispose of the water you use to prevent it from entering storm drains. 🚨 Violations can result in fines of up to $10,000 per incident per day, so please make sure to power wash responsibly. 👉 For information on how best to handle water, visit ThinkBlue.org. . . . #ThinkBlueSanDiego #SanDiego #PowerWashing #PressureWashing #SanDiegoBusiness #StormwaterRegulations #StormwaterPollution #PollutionPrevention #WaterPollution
