Minimize Your Impact

Do Your Part

Help stop pollution every day: pick up trash, conserve water, fix leaky pipes, use less electricity, xeriscape your lawn with native plants and trees, reduce car travel (bike, walk, bus, or carpool), have your vehicle emissions tested, fix oil leaks, report illegal pollution, leave no trace when camping, and practice natural yard care rather than using fertilizers and pesticides that can harm your family and the environment. And please, please don’t pitch beer cans or trash into the river or on the riverbank.

Take the Pledge

By being aware of my actions, making thoughtful decisions, and remaining informed and engaged, I pledge to reduce my impact on the river and aid in its protection and restoration.
