Protecting Our Planet Starts With You
There are many ways to protect our planet making different decisions in our daily lives. See some suggestions below from the National Oceanice and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website.
Bike More
Drive less.
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural resources and landfill space.
Plant a Tree
Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.
Educate
When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources.

Conserve Water
The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
Shop Wisely
Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
Don't Send Chemicals Into Our Waterways
Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
Volunteer
Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.
Long-Lasting Lightbulbs are a Bright Idea
Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room!
