The first couple times I helped my dad change the oil in his car he dumped it down the storm drain which lead to the Chesapeake.

We don't do that anymore.

I think of all the times I did that working on my cars years ago.
It was just something you did and no one ever even blinked. Old oil, gas, brake fluid, etc, right down the storm drain.

Now I think back and shudder.
