Keep lakes clean
Take your used motor oil to a drop off place
Use latex paint instead of oil and rinse your brushes
in the sink rather than the yard
Fill a spray bottle with soapy water instead of bug spray
Plant trees to prevent soil erosion
Keep litter, pet waste, leaves, and grass clippings out
of gutters and storm drains.
