CLEANING UP OIL SPILLS
Let’s be diligent when cleaning up and handling oil spills in the back alley! We don’t want any of that ish going into the storm drains and then into our streams and rivers (and eventually oceans!). Sarah has written a procedure, so familiarize yourself with it and make sure we’re staying environmental rock stars!
