EarthFix Snippets
Our video, by Katie Campbell, was nominated for a Northwest Emmy award this week. Watch the piece - about stormwater pollution - right here.
Pretty nice infographic on the benefits of a green roof. From a real estate blog of all places.
Ashley Ahearn visits one of the Northwest’s most contaminated sites on the Duwamish River to see the ongoing problems with permitted industrial pollution. Robert McClure, from InvestigateWest joins in to talk wastewater, agricultural runoff, emerging chemical contaminants and stormwater runoff. Part two of our radio documentary on the Clean Water Act.
Clean Water Act - Today’s Challenges. Part of our radio documentary special Clean Water: The Next Act.
As the rain/snow falls in the Pacific Northwest it’d a good time to learn about problems with stormwater runoff. Diver/activist Laura James takes us underwater to see up close.

tox-ick.orgThis video was shot on Oct. 14, 2012, it is a storm water outfall off Alki Beach.
It was shot with a Go-pro hero2 in time-lapse mode. We had been monitoring weather all week and then on the day of shooting, watched doppler radar very closely, because we knew we only had about 4 hours of battery life in the go-pro and wanted to catch the plume developing.
It is only ONE storm drain, there are hundreds of outfalls that flow into puget sound. If you want more info on numbers and locations: pugetsound.org/policy/stormwater/outfalls
This time-lapse is a compilation of ~3000 images.
