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 6 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Collect Rain Water
I will create 4 rain garden(s), bioswale(s), or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.
