What is the Non-Point Source Pollution Education Campaign?
Washington State Department of Ecology received a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to create nonpoint source pollution educational materials and was encouraged to distribute them among other environmental organizations and government agencies. The result was a series of television commercials and posters that aimed to increase public awareness about the pollution we produce through everyday activities. The Tributary Strategies Program received these materials and has worked with the local government contacts in Maryland to air the 2-30 second commercials on their local cable stations. Also, WBOC-TV 54 in Salisbury aired these commercials for several weeks in the fall of 2001. Here you can see the resulting Non-Point Source Pollution Education Campaign.
