DAY 33
TAKE IT TO THE CAR WASH! The car wash yeah!
Over NINETY-percent of oil in our oceans comes from the land (streets, parking lots, and driveways in particular)!
USE the CAR WASH instead of washing vehicles in the driveway. Most commercial car washes process or send rinse water containing grease, oil, detergents, and other gunk to a treatment facility.
I learned a lot about the benefits of using a commercial car wash when the owners of PWS Truck Wash in Hammond, IN helped me with a roadside jeep repair (thanks guys)!
Once in the water oil, gasoline, and other hydrocarbons can sicken and kill marine life.
One quart of oil can contaminate over 1,000 gallons of water!
Challenge: If you are a doityourselfer (DIY) figure out a method to use the least amount of water and detergent and a way to keep the water from flowing into the storm drain.
