Gamer's actions
Waste
Compost Food Waste
I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to landfills per day by composting my food, which reduces my climate footprint ultimately helping salmon and orcas.
Water
Useing all the water i have for the Garten
This for for it so i can water it nicely and to not use that much water that i pay.
Water
Stormwater Drain Marking
The single largest source of pollution that contaminates Puget Sound is polluted storm water runoff. By marking storm drains, we can educate our community by informing them that nothing but rain should go down the drain!
Transportation
Go by Bike
I will commute by bike 2 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 48.09 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere AND avoid sending exhaust particles and tire pollution into stormwater that impacts Orca and salmon health.
Transportation
Use a Carwash
When I wash my car I will always take it to a commercial car wash facility to avoid driveway drainage of toxic chemicals entering the storm drain and local waterways, poisoning fish and Orcas in Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 10 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.
Waste
Skip the Straw
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 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Nature
Create a Backyard Wildlife Habitat
Learn how and take steps to certify my yard or common outdoor area as a backyard wildlife habitat to improve our Puget Sound or other regional ecosystem.
Water
Mulch the Base of Trees and Plants
I will prevent harmful storm-water runoff to the Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.
Education
Educate my family or friends
Spend 15 minutes educating my family/friends about Southern Resident Orca Whales and their endangered food supply.
Water
Collect Rain Water
I will use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs because in summer a drop for me may be one less for salmon, which then warms streams or can impair salmon streamflows.
Nature
Plant Trees
I will plant 4 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard to combat climate change and reduce stormwater impacts to Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean.
Food
Learn More about Food Deserts
I will spend 10 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh Puget Sound food in my region.
Nature
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day to connect with the shared ecosystem in which I live and rely on. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
Nature
Leave No Trace
I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends to minimize my downstream impact in my watershed.
Transportation
Drive Less
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips thus avoid sending exhaust particles and tire pollution into stormwater that impacts Orca and salmon health.
Nature
I will go out side ___ this much time
to see Nature outside
Food
Start or Tend a Garden
I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one to keep my food local, minimize my climate carbon footprint and therefore reduce my impact to the Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean.
