did you know...…polluted runoff is the number one cause ofwater pollution in Northern Virginia? That’s
right, the very same rain that washes streets,yards, and parking lots is sending chemicals,bacteria, and trash down the drain and into
the local creeks . If we work together, we canend polluted runoff!
Gloves, wipes, and masks are intended to protect youfrom the pandemic, not create a plastic pollutionproblem.
Don't let your used Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) become litter
