Earth Day Count Down - Day 7

#7 Don't let pet waste run off!
You can help reduce polluted storm water runoff by just picking up your pet's poop and dispose of it properly. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria or organic material to wash into the storm drain and eventually into local waterbodies. So remember - always scoop the poop! Visit http://www.epa.gov/weatherchannel/stormwater.html and http://sarasotabay.org/nar-poochesfortheplanet.html for more information.
