From EPA: new Spanish-language DVD and educational program.
Chucho Salva el Dia (Chucho Saves the Day). The video is an educational tool to help children understand the importance of storm water protection in daily life. In the 17-minute movie, Chucho (a dog) and his owner go fishing to enjoy a beautiful day - only to discover their fishing spot has been polluted. They spend the afternoon investigating and learning how daily activities can cause pollution and steps they can take to protect water quality.
