Take Action!

Changing our daily behaviors is a great place for each of us to start. Here are a few simple guidelines to help us focus on being more environmentally minded in our actions:

  1. Say Something! Check out our educational resources and spread the word to family, friends, and associates.
  2. Do Something! REFUSE single-use plastics; make it your personal mission to reject plastic bags, bottles, straws, and other single-use plastic items.
  3. Choose to Reuse! Bring your own reusable bags when you shop. Bring your own reusable hot/ cold drink containers, as well as reusable straws. Also, consider bringing your own take-away containers to restaurants.
  4. Submit pictures of your efforts to the 4River Photo Book!
  5. Become a resource and communicate with us about what you see and hear regarding river health and ways to better our environment. We’d love to hear from you!
  6. Write a Letter to your Congressman and express your concerns about single-use plastics and all forms of water pollution. Support Clean Water in your community!
