In an attempt to halt pollution, many sewers in our area carry this sign. Often they are painted by students on school activities and community service assignments. Good reminders.

j'aime beaucoup ce signe, et ils ont raison ;)
ReplyDeleteI think these reminders are important. The ones in my neighborhood are fading.
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteAs always, thank you for your comment on my site, which I answered there, explaining that Tamarindo is indeed a surfing town, and many of the people who come there for vacation do so specifically to take advantage of the surfing.

Cute fish.
ReplyDeleteOops did my last comment take? Cute fish. Better looking than normal sewer drains.
ReplyDeletethat's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteGREAT IDEA!
ReplyDeleteFunny and quite serious at the same time!
ReplyDeleteSamaritan contributions at work!
ReplyDeleteWe have some of those in our area too.
ReplyDeleteIt's really too easy to just let water go down the drain and not think about its destination.
Great reminder and perfect post for the letter S.
many of our sewers show a significant design - often from Victorian era. Built to last eh?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good reminder, and I like the little fish.
ReplyDeletePeople often think that stormwater drains like this carry water to some sort of treatment plant. Not so. And unfortunately the waters are often polluted with motor oils and runoff from garden pesticides and fertilizers.
ReplyDeleteKate, I emailed you my rice pudding recipe last night. Hope you got it!
hope the SIGNAGE works!

I've not seen these kinds of signs before, but, yes, many people don't think about where the water runoff actually goes.
ReplyDeleteNice reminder.
ReplyDeleteGood to have the reminder. That's a new one for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure this sign tells me what to do or what not to do.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant post, Kate, of a brilliant idea. I hope many people take the message to heart.
ReplyDeleteKate, I think that this is a great reminder that our wastes and garbage wind up in rivers and streams... Creative, engaging reminder for those students and all of us.

We have a "stream-of-dreams" program here. School children hand-paint wooden salmon and display them on chain-link fences. There are also yellow symbols on the sewers. Nice to see that this sort of awareness is happening in your part of the world too.
ReplyDeleteI wonder -do you think those signs made a difference? I wonder how they would measure that. Statistics. That's the name of the game.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea.
