People who use lawn chemicals. I don’t get it. Is polluting our lakes and streams worth it just to have your little patch of the American dream a tad greener? Do you not understand that you are messing up the watershed where you live? Who gets affected? We all do! People like to swim in CLEAN lakes and rivers. Birds, fish, and animals prefer it as well.

Also, people who do not clean up after their dogs. The majority of e coli germs found in lakes and rivers are from…DOGS!!! Canine poop! The next time you fail to be a good citizen and clean up after your dog, consider how you would feel if YOUR child got sick after a recreational swim.

The WORST PEOPLE are those who wash their cars on the driveway, wash their paint brushes or dirty containers outside, and let all of that dirty, chemical-laden water go down storm drains and into, again, LAKES AND RIVERS!

People who mess up the environment are NOT good neighbors!!!
