The #gowanuscanal is partially frozen! 💩 🥶 #parkslope #theother5th

#Repost @gowanusdredgers with @get_repost ・・・ Did you join us in not showering this morning? 🚱🌧🚨 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. 😳 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. ☔️🧼🛁🚽🧽 #staystrong . . #gowanus #gowanuscanal #sewershed #gowanussewershed #parkslope #propsectheights #water #waterpollution #combinedseweroverflow #cso #carrollgardens #cobblehill #boerumhill #brooklyn #sewage #nyc #cleanwater #communityengagement #waterconservation

Bring a friend and we'll outfit you with equipment and give quick navigation instructions at the dock.
