In our PSA, we talked about how you can take action and help reduce pollution in the Missouri River. Here's more information and ideas for how you can help.
Something You Can Do Today
Something You Can Do Today
--Dispose of waste properly. Don't litter!
-Recycle when possible, and try to incorporate reusable items into your lifestyle. Encourage others to do the same!
-Don't pour or deposit anything in storm drains. Everything that goes into a storm drain ends up in the river!
-Avoid pouring fat, grease, or oil down the sink. Instead, wait for it to harden and throw it away.
-Don't dispose of medications or household chemicals by pouring them down the toilet.
-Run the dishwasher or washing machine only when you have a full load, take shorter showers, and do other things to conserve water.
-Throw away solid food instead of using the garbage disposal. Or better yet, store leftover food for later.
