How Can You
Protect
Santa Monica Bay?

Be an environmentally-aware consumer.

Use non-toxic products
in your home and garden, including
no herbicides and pesticides.

Conserve water and reduce
runoff by not over-watering
your lawn or garden.

Divert rain spouts
and other sources
of runoff onto
grass or vegetation.

Use a broom rather than a
hose to clean up garden
clippings, dirt, and litter from
sidewalks, patios, and driveways,
and use appropriate city bins.

When changing car fluids, use a drip pan
to collect any spills. If a spill occurs, soak
it up using an absorbent material such as
kitty litter or sawdust and dispose of it
properly at an approved household
hazardous waste collection site.
