Valerie's actions
Waterwise Home
Brush My Teeth Without Running Water
I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
Waterwise Community
Say No to Plastic Straws
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 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Waterwise Home
Use Reusable Bottles
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
Waterwise Community
Litter Removal
I will organize or participate in a volunteer litter clean up to keep trash from entering our storm drains and waterways.
Waterwise Home
5-Minute Showers
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
Waterwise Beautification
Use Native Plants When Possible
I will plant 1 square feet of native species, landscape with water-efficient plants in order to reduce general water usage, and minimize fertilizer and pesticide use.
