The Ocean Guardian Pledge

Drawing of a turtle — Hannah L., gr. 5, The Carroll School, Waltham. Sea Turtle & Fish

Because I want to help the ocean and all the creatures that live in it and around its shores, I pledge today to do these things and accept membership into Nim's Ocean Guardian Kids Club:

Conserve water and other natural resources.
Reduce use. Reduce your eco-footprint, and reduce waste.
Reuse or repurpose products to extend their usable life.
Recycle, and use products made of recycled materials.
Be considerate of ocean wildlife and seabirds.
Clean up the beach, park, or river and leave it better than I found it.
Devote time every year to community service to benefit and beautify the environment.
Increase my own awareness of the effects that I have on the ocean and our environment.
Learn all I can about the environment, including special ocean areas like national marine sanctuaries.
Promote ocean awareness and pass on my knowledge to friends and family.
Encourage my family and friends to protect the ocean and our environment.
