DAY 37
 

Ninety-Five percent of oil in our oceans comes from the land (Well that was prior to the BP Deepwater Horizon Blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, but it's still alot)USE the CARWASH instead of washing vehicles in the driveway.  Most commercial carwashes process or send rinse water containing grease, oil, detergents, and other gunk to a treatment facility.  Once in the water oil, gasoline, and other hydrocarbons can sicken and kill marine life.
