| Description |
Washington is the first state to enact legislation to help reduce the use of copper in vehicle brake pads. This legislation is a significant step towards protecting and restoring Puget Sound. Copper in our waterways threatens our salmon populations. It impairs their ability to smell making them vulnerable to predators and unable to find their way to spawn. |
