Four Mile Run Stream
Four Mile Run stream is in Arlington VA. Four Mile Run stream is very VERY contaminated.It is mostly contaminated with fecal coliform bacteria also known as POOP. The fecal coliform is mostly from your pet waste and other animal waste. BUT there is a way to stop the contamination of fecal coliform and it starts by you. First thing you can do is pick after your pets business and pick ALL of it up. Also do not put fertilizers before it rains because all the fertilizer goes into the four mile run stream. All the fertilizer damages the river water. And the last thing is to not litter. Littering is VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD! it makes the water you drink and the water the animals drink and live in dirty. So DON'T LITTER!!!!! Thanks!

We should help to keep it healthy. Unless you want to drink dirty water. :)(:
ReplyDeleteExcellent article. I hate it when people litter, and also when people don't clean up after their pets, which is basically also littering.
ReplyDeleteyes yes i know! i get mad when i see trash anywhere on the streets or grass! i just hate people who litter because we only have one earth and there are no second chances with this....people have to take care of the earth now or never! i also get mad when people don't clean up after their pets because 1. it just gross to see dog scat every where and 2. it contaminates the water we drink...maybe not now but when it rains it gets brought into the stream and contaminates it....
