● Approximately 46% of lakes in America are too
polluted for fishing or aquatic life
● Over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 sea
mammals are killed by pollution every year
● Our headwater streams and wetlands provide
drinking water for 117 million Americans
● Water from rain, storm drains, and ditches flows
directly into nearby lakes streams and rivers
● Compost yard waste instead of washing it into
storm drains
● Join a local clean water or environmental group
that monitors industries or sewage plants that
discharge waste
