When it rains, toxic substances can make their way into our waterways. For instance, when storm water flows across hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt, it picks up all of the chemicals that may be on those surfaces and brings them down the storm drains. To prevent toxic runoff, consider placing gravel along the border of your driveway or sidewalk so the toxins in storm water have a chance to settle before they get into waterways.
