Did You Know?

People dump gallons and gallons
 of used motor oil in our street gutters and storm drains each day.

It's icky.
And, it's against the Law.

Everything that enters the gutters flows directly - UNTREATED - to our creeks, the Delta and the Bay.

 

That's bad for plants, animals, and people too.

 

Just one gallon of used motor oil can ruin a million gallons of clean water.

 

Think about it!
