Washing your car at a professional car wash, and not into the street and stormdrains, is the environmentally friendly thing to do. Carwash facilities in Marin County are designed to process and treat toxic grime (metals etc that accumulate on our cars) and cleaning fluids, helping us keep our creeks and bays free of these pollutants. Additionally, over 85 percent of California's car washes recycle their water, helping conserve precious water resources too.
Pasted below is the link to a good article on the topic published in "CA Wild" the magazine of the CA Academy of Sciences. The article can be read online at: http://www.calacademy.org/calwild/2004spring/stories/habitats.htmlEvery little bit we do to keep our creeks and bays clean makes a difference!
