By teaming up with Tox-Ick.org together we can communicate more clearly the problem of POLLUTED RUNOFF, by not only showing what we are doing to protect Puget Sound, what we are protecting (Video of Underwater Marine life) but also what we are protecting it from (Video of Storm Drains flowing into Puget Sound).
