On a more
personal level, there are simple things that you can do everyday
to live a little more lightly in your watershed. Here are a few
things to try.
Make
simple changes in your spending habits.
From
our choice in garden plants (high use of water, water runoff,
spread of non-native seeds) to large appliances (energy production
can lead to air pollution and global warming), making simple changes
in our purchasing habits can have a substantial impact on our
environment.
Attach
doggie bags to your dog's leash.
After
watering or rain, dog waste runs directly into the stormdrain system.
Having baggies available makes clean-up easy.
Walk,
bike or skate to one errand a week.
Foregoing the car saves gas, reduces stress and helps
us connect with our natural environment.
