I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will reduce stormwater runoff, promote better air quality, and reduce CO2 from our atmosphere by planting 1 tree(s) in my home or in my community.

I will plant 4 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 discover the power of my community working together by completing the WNMC Pledge and pledging to save 10. gallons of water.

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.

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 organize or participate in a volunteer community storm drain stenciling campaign.
