I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will visit my nearest Puget Sound farm to learn about locally produced food and the quality of life of all involved in producing it to make better choices for Puget Sound when I shop.

I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate, so long term, it stays out of the Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean.

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 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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!

I will raise money to support Ecochallenge.org or another organization supporting Puget Sound health.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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.
