While pavement sealants may seem harmless, some of them contain a chemical called PAHs that are harmful for human health and the environment. In fact, kids between 0-6 yo who live near parking lots or driveways with high-PAH sealants have a 14x higher lifetime cancer risk. Check our link in bio to learn more about high-PAH pavement sealants.

We're already dealing with the impacts of #climatechange. Milwaukee is quickly becoming a national leader in water capture practices--like rain gardens, rain barrels, and permeable pavement--as a key way to prepare for the impacts of climate change, like flooding. The paved school yard at Starms Early Childhood Center on Milwaukee’s northwest side was replaced with a porous play surface in the shape of #LakeMichigan by our friends at @refloh2o, to help reduce flooding and runoff into the Lake.

Local communities in #wisconsin want action on #climatchange. In the absence of real leadership at the state level, cities, towns, school districts, and others have passed their own policies to reduce #carbonemissions and prepare for the impacts from climate change, like flooding.

Check out our interactive map in our bio to see what local communities have done on #climatechange.
