When it comes to healthier and cleaner water, we can all make a difference!
Our collective wellbeing depends on the health of our local waters.
Despite recovery efforts, the health of Puget Sound and our streams are still in decline. Stormwater pollution and climate change are two major contributors to this pressing problem.
Together, we have the power to protect and recover Puget Sound and our local waters. When each of us make a small change, it adds up.
Join our Stream Team community in protecting the places that mean the most to us. They are the heart of our environment, community, economy, and our well-being. Learn what you can do to make a difference and be part of the solution!
Yard Care
Grow a beautiful yard you can feel good about! You can have a healthy yard that’s safe for people, pets and our local waters when you practice natural yard care.
Native Plants
Landscaping choices have a BIG impact on local water quality and our native birds, wildlife and insects. By planting native species, you create essential habitat that animals need for food and shelter.
Pet Waste
Don’t let your pooch pollute. A single gram of dog poop, about the size of a pea, contains 23 million fecal coliform bacteria. That’s almost twice the amount in human waste.
Report Spills
You can help prevent water pollution when you report a spill. Pollutants enter our local waterways and Puget Sound when rain washes spilled oil, soap, paint, sediment, yard or automotive chemicals down the stormdrain.
Car Care
Puget Sound starts with car care. We can keep pollution out of our creeks, lakes, rivers and Puget Sound. Our small actions add up to a BIG difference for Puget Sound, the Salish Sea and marine life!
