Keep our lakes and rivers clean.
HOW DOG WASTE CAN POLLUTE OUR WATERS
YOUR MISSION
Pick up dog waste.
Please, don’t ignore it because it’s gross or someone else’s problem. Whether on your lawn or beside a trail, it ends up in our lakes, rivers, and streams. Be a good neighbor and steward of the land: pick it up. Bags can be found in most grocers and pet stores, though reusing any old plastic bag will do. Just remember to carry a few bags in your pocket when you go for a walk.
BONUS MISSION
Use less fertilizer.
When you overfertilize your yard, garden, or farm, the excess nutrients run off and can cause toxic algal blooms that threaten the health of fish, people, and their dogs. Follow the instructions on your fertilizer and, if possible, please consider going phosphorus-free. You can find phosphorus-free fertilizer at many Colorado stores; just look for labels that list the phosphate content as zero.
