Plastic Pollution

Whether it is more extreme storms from climate change, unsustainable development increasing flood risk, or trash from our daily lives ending up in waterways, humans are having an impact on our natural environment. But we can change to ensure a more sustainable world.

Plastic debris in waterways is a major issue these days. There are few standards in place like other waterway pollutants. In Texas, most storm drains lead to natural waterways. Therefore any trash that finds its way into these storm drains is destined for a nearby riparian area.

Plastic debris in waterways is a major issue these days. Even something as small as a bottlecap will exist for years in the ocean, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces. Many plastics are consumed by fish and birds.
