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

I will pick up pet waste on every walk and once a week in my yard, since stormwater otherwise carries it to the Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean.

I will spend 8 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting orca and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will spend 15 minutesIdentifying what sub-basin I live in and learning about my watershed's water quality, fish habitat problems, and options for volunteering.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 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.)

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers to minimize my water footprint, as in many watersheds, a drop for me is one less for salmon, which then warms streams or impairs salmon streamflows.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about how boat noice impacts Orcas and then I will change my boating habits to reduce my impact.
