Poster has a black background with white text and a color photo near the bottom of a man pushing a fertilizer across a body of water with white clouds and blue sky and water in the background. At the top of the poster is "When Your Fertilizing The Lawn, / Remember You''re Not Just / Fertilizing The Lawn." followed by a Long Island Sounds Study logo in red and white. At the bottom of the poster, below the image, is "you fertilize the lawn. then it rains. the rain washes the fertilizer along the curb, / into the storm drain, and directly into our lakes, streams and Long Island Sound. / this causes algae to grow, which uses up oxygen that fish need to survive. / so if you fertilize, please follow directions and use sparingly." followed by a list of organizations and cities being thanked by the study and a number to call/website to visit for more information.
