As an extension to Comerica's National Day of Service in September, consider conducting a virtual volunteer action that supports our communities. Since there are no organized in-person river, beach or lake clean-ups in most communities this year, if you would like, you can consider cleaning up around your house and neighborhood to support your local environment as neighborhood storm drains commonly drain to local water bodies. Please do not invite others outside of your household if you choose this action.

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend at least 30 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
