Call to Action

International Plastic Pellet Count

On May 3, join in the first annual International Plastic Pellet Count! These tiny plastics are frequently spilled, leaked or dumped into the environment, especially our waterways, during manufacturing and transport. As a result, they frequently wash up on riverbanks, lakeshores and beaches. To illustrate the magnitude of the problem, volunteers across America and beyond will be helping identify where plastic pellet pollution is happening to make the case for action.

 

Islandwide Litter Cleanup

Let’s clean up our roadways for April Earth Month! If you need to borrow a grabber or need a lot for a group cleanup, use this email.

Take This Survey on
Tree Cover and Well-being

This study follows up on a quantitative study on the same topic (Puget Sound Partnership Wellbeing Survey) to further examine whether changes in tree cover over time are linked to shifts in people’s sense of well-being, their attachment to their surroundings, and their beliefs about how effectively the environment is being managed.
