June is National Rivers Month which has me thinking about ways we can protect the quality and quantity of water in our local rivers, particularly important now as we face a warming climate.

1. Reduce our own water use

2. Avoid the use of toxic chemicals inside and outside of our homes and our workplaces

3. Cut down or eliminate the use of fertilizers

4. Re-landscape with native plants

5. Maintain our septic systems and town water infrastructure

6. Support our local watershed association and land trusts

7. Support policy changes that protect our rivers and water supplies

8. Support legislation that protects wetlands

9. Support legislation to protect and fund green infrastructure

10. For inspiration watch the 30-minute film about the clean-up of the Nashua River: “Marion Stoddart: The Work of 1000” (free stream) : https://vimeo.com/susanae.../marionstoddart-theworkof1000...
