Peconic Estuary Program: Green Tips

Here are a few tips for protecting our environment courtesy of our friends at the Peconic Estuary Program:

• Eliminate or reduce fertilizer and pesticide use by planting native wildflowers, grasses, and trees.   
• Use natural cleaning products in the home, yard and on the boat.  
• Bring old medications to local police stations for proper disposal.
• Stay off beach dunes and fenced-off areas, remove trash and clean up pet waste.
• Store hazardous products in spill proof containers. Dispose of old products on STOP collection days.
