Tips for Protecting Casco BayWe know that healthy water only comes through each of us doing our part. Some practical ways to help protect the Bay include:
In the home and garden▪ Dispose of chemicals properly – not down a storm drain, which can empty directly into the ocean. More info on how to dispose of: household hazardous waste and pesticides. ▪ Use reusable shopping bags. If you need inspiration to go plastic-free, check out this slideshow.
▪ Ensure your car is well tuned to run at peak efficiency to reduce air pollution. When purchasing a new car, opt for one with high gas mileage.
▪ Report pollution to the authorities.
A great way to help protect the Bay is to donate and support Friends of Casco Bay's work. We’d also love for you to get involved as a volunteer.
