1. What is the effect of soil erosion?

The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and
sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species.
And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

2. What will you do to protect the community?

Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "“R”s" to conserve natural
resources and landfill space.

Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed,
too.

Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of
our natural resources.

Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.

Choose sustainable.

Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.

Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light
switch off when you leave the room!

Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate
change.

Don't send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.

Bike more. Drive less.
