There are many ways you can help protect our planet, from taking part in a community clean up event to teaching your children to become #WatershedWarriors! There is always an opportunity to help us keep earth clean and healthy for generations to come.
Here are some tips on how to make small lifestyle changes that will leave a positive impact for future generations:
- Dispose Properly: Illegal dumping threatens the visceral beauty of our watersheds and the ecosystem surrounding it. If you want to get rid of a large piece of furniture but are not sure where to dispose of it, click here.
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The fewer single-use products you buy, the less trash you create! Changing small habits, like bringing your own reusable cups to the coffee shop can go a long way. Some grocery stores and coffee shops offer incentives for costumers to bring their own reusable bags and cups, do some research, there might be a store near you that does it.
- Cover Up: Keep lids on garbage and recycling trash cans to prevent litter from being blown away or scattered by animals.
If you are interested in taking it further and volunteering for one of our community clean up events, you can check out our calendar here.
