Microplastics and Water Pollution

Help protect our local creeks and the Bay!

Did you know? As Polly drives around, her tires slowly break down, creating tiny microplastic particles that pollute our waterways. Experts estimate that 30% of the microplastics polluting the world's oceans comes from car tires. To help put the brakes on water pollution, try driving less and consider walking, biking, or using other forms of transportation instead! For more information, visit www.cleancreeks.org.
