We can no longer rely upon the federal government to protect and provide clean and affordable water. That's why we are sponsoring the Right to Clean Water Act to reestablish the safeguards that have been stripped from California's waters. Read more in the LA Times: lat.ms/3FDW6KI. #ProtectCAWater

Part of keeping our water clean means making sure sewer pipes are clear. Clogs can cause backups, leaks, and overflowing. Help keep things flowing by not flushing wipes, even when they say you can. 🚽 flush3p.org #Georgia #Ogeechee #Canoochee #Sewer #Pipes #Clog

Right now, California’s waters are at risk of pollution because they’ve lost federal protections! The Right to Clean Water Act will restore clean water protections and hold polluters accountable. Thanks to @benallenca.bsky.social for working to #ProtectCAWater.

Did you know that throwing your trash, bathroom items, tires, and drinks along the highway hurts our environment? Not only will this harm animals and neighboring species, but it will also hurt the ocean! Imagine drinking or playing in trash-filled water. Imagine.
