Why does it matter to me?
- Our planet is 70% water. 97.5% of that is saltwater.
- This means only 2.5% is available for the 6+ billion people on the planet today.
- Dirty water causes 80% of all sickness and disease and kills more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
- Fourteen billion pounds of garbage, mostly plastic, is dumped into the ocean every year.
- More oil is seeped into the ocean each year as a result of leaking cars and other non-point sources than was spilled by the Exxon Valdez.
- Polluted coastal water costs the global economy $12.8 billion a year in death and disease.
- Over 1
million seabirds are killed by plastic waste per year. Over 100,000 sea mammals
and countless fish are killed per year due to pollution.
SWIMS (Storm Water Inspection and Maintenance Services) has
prevented pollution for over 13 years and has partnered with hundreds of
companies and property owners throughout California. Together we are strong!
