We All Have The Power And Responsibility To Protect Our Environment, And We’re Doing Something About It
We can do things in our daily lives that have a significant impact on protecting our environment and the life that it supports including limiting our usage of single-use plastics (straws, water bottles, utensils, plates, bags, coffee cups), conserving water usage (turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth and shaving), participating in recycling initiatives and utilizing public transportation when possible.
