I will find local resources for learning about my watershed and the particular water issues my region faces.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. This week, I'll say "no" to plastic bags at the store and plastic straws in all of my drinks.

I will watch The Story of Bottled Water to learn more about bottled water's impacts on the environment.

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will find out if my local utilities offer an option for supporting renewable energy investment.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community this week.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
