COMMENTS: Beaches Going down the Drain
The Natural Resources Defense Council took advantage of the summer season for its environmental campaign against beach pollution. NRDC succeeded in getting CBS' Kelly Wallace to take a trip to Jones Beach on the Atlantic Ocean to publicize its findings. Run-off from storm drains dumps oil and trash and pet feces and fertilizer into the ocean making swimming beaches around New York City and in Florida the unhealthiest in the nation. Wallace showed us NRDC's preferred solution--permeable pavement. Instead of concrete or asphalt, roadways with holes absorb storm water into the ground rather than sending it oceanbound down the drain.
