Smarter Business: Greening Advisor
Water Quality Overview
Pesticides, fertilizers and chemicals from cleaning products often end up washing into the nearest water body, where they can adversely affect aquatic life, drinking water quality and recreation. Your company can reduce detrimental impacts on water quality by limiting the use of toxic chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers, and by using more grass and gravel on your property to absorb and filter pollution, rather than impervious asphalt.
