Our water is all connected, and the choices we make every day can help protect it for generations to come. Here are a few simple ways to put the One Water approach into practice. 🌼 Plant native flowers and plants: Native plants need less water and are great habitat for wildlife. 🚽 Fix a leak: Repairing leaky faucets and toilets saves water and lowers your water bill. 💧 Install a rain barrel: Collected rainwater can be used to water plants or wash your car and reduces demand on our drinking water supply. 🌱 Compost food and yard waste: Composting reduces landfill waste, enriches soil and helps soil hold moisture. 🗑️ Join a stream cleanup: Removing trash and plastic from streams keeps our waterways clean. 🌳 Plant a tree: Trees improve water quality, provide shade and support a healthier community.
