Yesterday, the #SkipTheStuff ordinance went into effect in Los Angeles City. Now, restaurants and delivery services will only provide single-use foodware accessories by request. Thank you Councilmembers @PaulKoretzCD5@PaulKrekorian!
Did you know that the Bear River is the longest river in the U.S. that doesn’t reach the sea? It flows through Utah and ends at the Great Salt Lake. Providing habitat for millions of migratory birds along the way. #WaterWednesday@utahpublicradioupr.org/post/history-bear-ri…
This #waterwednesday we're heading to the hawkeye state. Iowa is the only state bordered by two navigable rivers; the Missouri River to the west and the Mississippi River to the east.
It's upsetting that in addition to the challenge of recovering from the devastation and on-going impact of #HurricaneSally2020, residents also have to reckon with sewage spills. We need to invest in the infrastructure to keep our water safe even at storm capacity. @SenatorShelby
Such a sad conclusion to the mystery- Elephants are dying because of harmful algal outbreaks. "Climate change is increasing both the intensity and severity of harmful algal blooms" The same toxin that killed these elephants is wreaking havoc on US waters.

Ugh! The plastics shed from our garments could be in our rivers and oceans forever. We need to focus on reducing our 'ballooning collections of clothes' and look at the impacts of our wardrobe on our water. @brkfreeplastic@Surfrider@stopmicrowastebbc.com/news/science-environ…
“We now face a perfect storm of water quality devastation and economic harm from the rule itself and rushed implementation.”

Some sad news, but a good reminder that law makers from both sides of the aisle came together as a country to fix this problem almost 50 years ago by passing the #CleanWaterAct. Let's all #ProtectCleanWater #https://www.outsideonline.com/2416503/cuyahoga-river-fire-2020-1969
From the #GreatLakes to America's #Everglades, harmful algal outbreaks poison our waters, devastate fish populations, contaminate drinking water, & smother our outdoor recreation economy.
