Maggie's actions
Food
Compost Food Waste
I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
Wildlife
Research a Wild Animal
I will spend at least 1 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).
Fresh Water
Conserve Toilet Water
I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.
Fresh Water
Dishwasher Efficiency
I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.
Fresh Water
Water-Friendly Beauty Products
Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.
Fresh Water
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

Maggie Kaminoff 4/08/2020 7:43 AMLiving in East Wenatchee, water is cycled to the Columbia River, eventually leading out to the Pacific Ocean. Water is used and reused on it's journey down river by humans and animals...by not contributing it's a no brainer in keeping it clean and healthy for everyone! -

Maggie Kaminoff 4/08/2020 7:35 AMIt's amazing how many birds we actually have in our own back yard. I counted at least 12 difference species at our feeders. (Squirrel not included!)-
