An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will organize or participate in a volunteer litter clean up to keep trash from entering our storm drains and waterways.

I will discover the power of my community working together by completing the WNMC Pledge and pledging to save 1000. gallons of water.

I will show my support for a favorite lake, river, stream, wetland or place along the coast.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will "hydrozone" my yard and garden so that low water-use, moderate water-use and high water-use plants are grouped together.

I will have an irrigation professional audit my irrigation system 1x per year to save water, money, and reduce runoff.

I will plant 100 square feet of native species, landscape with water-efficient plants in order to reduce general water usage, and minimize fertilizer and pesticide use.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.
