Take the Pledge to Protect Creeks and the Bay and win a free Notebook!

A Clean Bay Begins Here Flyer

When rain falls and washes into the drain, it carries pollution on streets and sidewalks with it. The water flows directly to creeks, wetland and the Bay. Storm drains do not connect to the “sewer” or water treatment plant, like many people believe.

Everyday actions make a difference! Keep local creeks and the Bay clean by reducing pesticide use, picking up pet waste, using a car wash and more.

Learn how you can help and pledge to take an action here! As a thank you, the first 200 pledges will receive a limited-edition notebook! Stickers are also available while supplies last. Visit cleanwaterprogram.org/residents for more information.
