Simple Things You Can Do
to Protect Marin's Water and Wildlife


Q. Hose down the driveway to clean oil spills and grease?

A. Maintain your vehicle and avoid oil leaks. Rain and garden hoses can wash oil from your driveway into streets and then the storm drain which goes directly to the Bay. The oil from just one oil change can pollute a million gallons of water - more than 120 people can drink in a lifetime. Recycle your oil!
