Who s polluting the Chesapeake Bay?
In some way, everyone who lives in, works in or visits the Bay region pollutes the Chesapeake. Every time we drive or ride in a car or truck, tailpipe emissions pollute the air. This pollution eventually can be deposited on land or on water. Other sources of pollution include just about everything from farms to factories to parking lots to urban and suburban areas to wastewater treatment plants to our own yards and gardens. No one is exempt, so everyone has to be part of pollution prevention and reduction efforts.
