Through November 30, volunteers will be provided trash bags, gloves, and safety vests, as supplies last, when they register a cleanup with Pick Up Pennsylvania. #PickupPa Groups and individuals are cleaning up their favorite shared public spaces through Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s Pick Up Pennsylvania program, supporting the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup. The International Cleanup is an initiative to keep trash from reaching our waterways and oceans. Both waterway and land-based cleanups are eligible for the program since a significant portion of waterway pollution originates on land. Wind and rain wash litter into storm drains or directly into creeks and rivers that eventually flow to the ocean where it impacts marine life, human health, and coastal economies. https://lnkd.in/ett6V6GU

12 Days of Stormwater Pollution Prevention—Day 12: Give Your Tree a Second Life. Support stormwater management and wildlife habitats by recycling your holiday tree to create mulch or compost, or to help control erosion. #projectcleanwater

Did you know that healthy peatlands play a crucial role in mitigating the effect of wildfires? ?? When dried out, peatlands become highly flammable, which can - and has - lead to devastating peat fires that destroy the surrounding area and release large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. A key aim of restoring damaged peatlands is to raise the water table, helping to prevent and reduce the risk of peat fires and limit the spread of fire should it occur. Interested in learning more about the power of peat? Take a look here ???? https://buff.ly/3vxvypQ #PeatlandRestoration #ClimateCrisis #ScottishPeatlands #NatureBasedSolutions #NetZero

Exciting news for cleaner air and wildlife! The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District will receive over $2 million to support the Protecting Blue Skies and Blue Whales program. The program encourages cargo vessels to slow down in key areas during peak whale and ozone seasons, reducing emissions and protecting marine life. This collaborative effort involves air districts, marine sanctuaries, and nonprofits working together for a healthier environment. I'm thankful to be a member of this Board and for the work being done to protect the environment. Protecting our air and wildlife is a win for everyone! Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g5qUNz_K.

Litter on highways doesn't just look bad – it washes into our rivers, lakes, and oceans, harming marine life and polluting our drinking water. By adopting a highway, you're not only beautifying our roads, you're directly protecting our precious waterways. ?? ??Join the Adopt-a-Highway program and help us keep litter out of our water! #AdoptAHighway #CleanWater #EnvironmentalProtection #PollutionPrevention #MakeADifference

Environmental Benefits of Healthy Lawns Healthy lawns offer numerous environmental benefits, including: 1. Erosion prevention: Grass roots hold soil in place, reducing soil erosion from wind and water. 2. Improved flood control: Lawns can absorb rainfall, reducing stormwater runoff and alleviating pressure on drainage systems. 3. Wildlife habitat: Lawns can provide food, shelter, and habitat for various wildlife, such as bees, butterflies, and birds. 4. Cooling effect: Lawns can be 30°F (16°C) cooler than surrounding pavement and buildings, reducing urban heat islands. 5. Visual appeal: Well-maintained lawns enhance aesthetic value, boosting property values and community pride. By maintaining a healthy lawn, you're contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly community! #healthylawn #lawnmaintenance #lawncareservice #lawncare #sustainability #alvservicescleaners

What role do forests play in the water cycle? Upland forests are involved in water infiltration and runoff, protecting freshwater ecosystems. Water that does not evaporate is stored in the forest soil and filtered by trees, removing pollutants from the water before it travels through runoff and groundwater to rivers and streams. Trees also decrease erosion, contributing to the quality of waterways - cleaner water means healthier freshwater ecosystems and a thriving aquatic community. #NationalForestWeek #NFW #Trees #WaterCycle
