Q. Do you wash your car and truck and throw the
soapy water in the street or gutter? OR do you dump your dirty water
in the street after cleaning your carpets, floors or upholstery?
A.
Soap - even biodegradable - is harmful to some fish and their food
supply. For a free brochure on the effects pollutants (including soap)
have on marine mammals, call MCSTOPPP's hotline at 485-3363 or e-mail
us at
mcstoppp@co.marin.ca.us.
If you are involved with a community car wash fundraiser, contact MCSTOPPP
to borrow their "Fish Friendly Car Wash Kit". It's available
to anyone living in Marin. Call MCSTOPPP at 499-6528!
