[0:05] So, I heard about storm drinking marking
[0:07] when my dad told me about it and then
[0:10] I'm interested in doing it to help the
[0:13] community be better.
[0:15] I like to keep my kids engaged in the
[0:18] community. So, I reached out to City of
[0:20] Woodbury and I was very fortunate to get
[0:22] in touch with Ben and I said, "Hey, Ben,
[0:24] you know, I'd like to have something for
[0:26] my kids to get engaged and involved for
[0:28] kids." You know, I think as they are
[0:30] growing up, it's very essential for them
[0:32] to understand what is needed in the
[0:34] community and what their role is. I see
[0:36] kids as a role model and getting out of
[0:39] house and participating in the community
[0:43] and then have awareness level of
[0:45] awareness in the community
[0:46] participations. So when they see helping
[0:49] hands, working hands that inspire the
[0:51] community and get involved in the
[0:54] greater good,
[0:57] people should know about storm drains
[0:59] cuz if you people don't know about them,
[1:01] they could just like dump like random
[1:04] things in the storm drains. It'll go
[1:05] into the lakes and like cause pollution
[1:07] which is really bad for the
[1:08] environments. So first like each like
[1:11] week on like weekend you just take like
[1:13] a brush you like clean off the storm
[1:15] drain of any debris. So I use a
[1:18] scrubber. I use the drain marker and you
[1:21] have to use this glue. You stick this
[1:24] sign and then like you clean around the
[1:26] storm drain of any debris and then like
[1:28] you just like keep it clean. You hand
[1:30] out this paper that says like adopt a
[1:32] drain to like help clean your own storm
[1:36] drain. And then we hand out this flyer
[1:39] like how to do it to make sure people
[1:42] know don't litter on storm drains
[1:44] otherwise like it can be bad for the
[1:46] environment like really bad and so
[1:48] people don't dump waste into the storm
[1:50] drain because it like dumps into lakes
[1:53] and help the environment from like
[1:55] pollution.
[1:57] I think it's a great program. You know
[1:59] this should not waste the time and get
[2:01] kids out especially summer time. It's a
[2:04] fun program. You know you have a
[2:05] research you you don't have to do all
[2:07] the d marking in one day just do few
[2:10] here few there and have fun enjoy it do
[2:14] we have pretty much covered quite a few
[2:17] area in this pretty much the map that we
[2:19] got from city of Budbury we have only
[2:21] one quarter left
[2:23] I've learned to be aware of the
[2:25] environment and encourage others to
[2:27] participate more responsibly
[2:29] it's a really fun program
[2:31] and you get to learn a lot from it and
[2:33] help the environment in at the same
[2:35] time.
