Did you join us in not showering this morning? π±π§π¨ When it rains beyond a certain amount in the watershed that flows into the Gowanus Canal (Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Boerum Hill, much of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill, a bit of Red Hook)…the old combined storm/household sewers flush what you flush…and what goes down your drain…right into the Canal. π³ You can help limit the pollution that regularly douses the Gowanus by refraining from washing dishes, showering, doing laundry, and even flushing during heavy rain events. βοΈπ§Όππ½π§½ #staystrong .
