Skip a shower and pledge to reduce your water footprint. Clean water is a resource most of us take for granted when we turn on the tap and get in the shower. Unfortunately, we have developed daily habits that waste and pollute this valuable resource. By changing our water habits - reducing, reusing and recycling water - we can all protect local water supplies and keep pollution from reaching our ocean.
Pledge NowTake the pledge to skip your shower, and learn how you can reduce your water footprint everyday forward. Join us in making every drop count!
Whether at home, at the beach or at work, we all affect the condition of our local water. It is our responsibility to help prevent pollution from reaching our waterways. The Surfrider Foundation's Clean Water Initiative makes sure that every drop counts by providing ways you can help reduce, reuse and recycle water at home and in your community so that we can enjoy our ocean, waves and beaches for years to come.
