 YOU CAN MAKE
A DIFFERENCE


We are influencing the world around us and have the power to decide what we want
our future to look like.

I went on a journey to dive all 50 states and see what is happening with our
local waters. I explored beautiful underwater landscapes, saw endangered
species, and photographed the entire quest. You can read more about this
adventure at AnAmericanImmersion.com.

I want to share and empower us all to make a difference for our underwater
world. We need our oceans and fresh water environments. Without water, we cannot
survive. Without the oxygen our oceans produce, we cannot breathe.

My Love our Waters campaign advocates for protecting our waters.




THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW

Here are three ways I try to make a difference


SAY NO TO STRAWS AND OTHER PLASTICS

Plastic never disappears. When it enters our water systems, it breaks down into
tiny pieces, never to dissolve, but instead accidentally become consumed by
wildlife.

More than 323 million people live in the United States. More straws than the
size of  our population are distributed daily.

One way I reduce plastic intake is by not using straws. I found that restaurants
have stopped asking if I would like a straw with my drink and automatically
bring one. They can't take it back, so I order my drinks with no straw.

Here's a group that has a campaign to Be Straw Free.

It adds up! We are empowered to make a difference and small things add up to big
improvements for reducing our waste.


MAKE SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD CHOICES
OR STOP EATING SEAFOOD ALTOGETHER

Download the free Sustainable Seafood Guide put out by the Monterrey Bay
Aquarium and order safe and sustainable options. Learn more at SeafoodWatch.org.

I used this educational App on my iPhone (available on Android). Unfortunately,
I found that waiters did not know what they were serving. When I inquired what I
was eating and where it came from, they either became irritated with me or lied
about the food source.

I chose to make my life simpler and not eat seafood. If you're looking for a
healthy option to eating meat, vegetarian menus are always a great choice.

With what I've seen as a conservation artist, I can't contribute to reducing the
fish in our ocean. We are taking out too many fish, crustaceans, and mollusks
for them to be able to reproduce and replace the loss.


PICK UP TRASH AND RECYCLE

On my quest, I saw trash in every body of water. Our trash does not disappear
when it goes beneath the water. It may decompose, add metals to our water, or be
swallowed by unsuspecting wildlife.

Trash on the ground also blows into water systems, travelling downstream into
our oceans and lakes.

I try to collect and properly dispose of trash I find. I never dump trash and I
recycle whenever possible. Sometimes, I even bring trash home so I can recycle
it.

I observed cans, bottles, and cigarrette butts to be the most plentiful
objects. I also support and participate in our local lake cleanup.

I saw trash in every body of water.

We have the power to make a difference.

Zebra and quagga mussels are an invasive species that smother surfaces,
including native wildlife.

This can was discarded
when the lake was created.
We found it more
than 50 years later.
