Protect the
Water from Hazardous Wastes
"No Hazardous Waste" Poster - "Earth Action" p. 18
Without water the world could not exist as we know it. It
stops the earth from getting too hot or cold. The amount of
water has stayed the same for millions of years. We should
try to keep it clean and unpolluted. About 97% of the water
in the world is salt water.
Hazardous wastes are chemical substances that harm life
in the water and soil when disposed of down the sink or
buried in the ground. Beware of drain cleaners, bleaches,
paint thinners, car lubricating oil, oven cleaners, furniture
polish and swimming pool chemicals. Try to use natural non-hazardous
alternatives.
Draw a picture to encourage people to not use hazardous
wastes. Post it as a "No Hazardous Waste"Poster.
