Protecting Our One Planet and One Water

April 5, 2021

Celebrate Earth Day, Every Day 

Earth Day revolves back around on April 22, and actions you take now can have year-round impact for our planet and our watershed. Here are a few activities to try that help keep our water clean:

• Volunteer for a SOLVE Spring Cleanup event; projects occur on various dates between April 10 and April 25. Clean Water Services is among the sponsors.
• Dig into native plant resources.
• Help mark local storm drains, and report illegal storm drain dumping.
• Use Clean Water GROW® slow-release plant food.
• Pick up after your pet.
• Wash your car at a car wash or on the lawn.
• Conserve water at home.
• Recycle or compost trash.
• Try stream-friendly solutions in your yard to keep pollutants out of our waterways.

We have one Earth, and One Water. We are using all the water we'll ever have. This One Water is part of a closed system that we must share and care for all year.
