Thank you!

Positive change for the ocean can begin with changes you make at home and in your own life.

With vacation season over, a new academic year beginning, and elections fast approaching, now is the perfect time to take action. Challenge yourself -- take this opportunity to make a fresh start and do it today!

Each of us can help by taking a few simple steps. Please check out the Seas the Day website this month to learn more and take action. What you do to help conserve freshwater helps protect this blue planet we call home.

Three challenges for me...

1. Chart a new course in commuting.
Take back the roads and become a conservation commuter: Try biking, take public transportation regularly, seek carpooling partners, or consider telecommuting.

2. Make your vote count.
This election season, look past the cleverly worded campaign ads and bumper stickers, and make your voice heard! Find out how to make sure the people who represent you are representing your values.

3. Simplify your life.
Create a life for yourself that revolves around experiences instead of things. By making a conscious decision to limit your own consumption, you can make a huge difference.

...and three more to help the seas!

1. Take it to the streets!
Have you noticed something in your neighborhood that needs to be cleaned up? Once someone speaks up, the problem is sooner solved -- but it's important to take that critical first step.

2. Think globally, act locally.
Get more involved with local conservation efforts, whether aimed directly at the health of the ocean or indirectly through the protection of clean water in your local watershed.

3. Make business bluer.
Your business can make ocean protection its business! There are many ways to help, and the best part is that each action is magnified on a much larger scale.
