Share with my child(s) teacher or my neighborhood school pre-prepared curriculum resources about the plight of our Orcas and the healthy watersheds they depend on, for remote learning

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to landfills by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream, and downstream in Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean, by using a reusable water bottle.

I will make a piece of art that connects my life to the life of Orcas and Salmon, and share it on social media.

Spend 10 minutes educating my family/friends about Southern Resident Orca Whales and their endangered food supply.

I will spend 10 minutesIdentifying what sub-basin I live in and learning about my watershed's water quality, fish habitat problems, and options for volunteering.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard to improve our regional ecosystem.

Contact my Conservation District (or other local technical service provider) to come explain my home's landscape conditions and potential for restoration projects.

I will organize a trash clean up effort with friends, family, and neighbors at my favorite local trail or salmon stream to keep trash from flowing downstream via storm drains to Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean.

I will call or write 1 public officials per day to advocate for more green spaces around my community and shared watershed.

I will research and donate to an organization providing environmental education to underserved audiences in my area.

Identify, lead and host simple environmental education activities, that help the Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean, for 10 young people I know.

I will pick up and properly dispose of litter on a daily walk through my neighborhood, since stormwater will otherwise carry it to the Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting orca and environmental health, and how I can help.
