Stop! Before you reach for the hose to clean up an oil spill in your driveway, think about where you are pushing those chemicals. Instead, use an absorbent material to soak up the oil, and then sweep it up to dispose of it safely.

There is a plan to remove 480+ mature trees for the new LMSD playing fields. We are urging LMSD & LMT to find an alternate plan. Mature trees provide invaluable stormwater/ carbon capturing functions that LM cannot afford to lose.
