December 19

Prompt: December 19

We have learned of how scarce clean water can be

And walked by the river, the lake, or the sea,

And now I feel ready to make the next move

To protect or improve

Access to water both far and near.

Let’s donate to groups keeping waterways clear.

Activity

Choose an organization working on water preservation (directly or indirectly) that means something to you. I love being able to show my children the water source that we’re protecting, so we love to give to the McKenzie River Trust and Columbia Riverkeeper. If you can’t give anything right now, consider taking a walk with your kiddo along the river again, but this time with a pair of gloves and trash bag, to clean up some garbage. While volunteer opportunities are still somewhat limited because of COVID-19, there are still some, and it could be fun to work together with a group to do some local cleanup.
