It's raining right now, there, outside my window. And as it is a Friday night and it's been a day full of essays and preparation for a meeting to finalize the end of my internship tomorrow morning I am leaving you to ponder this over the weekend.

| So soothing. |
When it rains, just like in a shower, the water washes away anything it hits. Take a moment and think about what that means for the outdoors. Pesticides, herbicides, pest killer, animal waste, car wash soap, spilled oil, tossed out food containers (tossed out anything containers and even the things they contained), rust, paint, decaying road kill, escaped car liquids... the list goes on.
So what happens to all that horrible-ness when it rains?
Why it washes into your local watershed, area ponds, lakes, streams, or other labeled bodies or water. That water then either flows to connect with larger bodies of water, or sinks into the ground to mix with the soil and the underground water reservoirs. Those always then flow to even larger bodies of water like the Michigan Great Lakes and/or the oceans. The pollutants never go away, so where do they end up?
Think about it.
I'll address more on Monday. Until then, enjoy your weekend.
