Ecotips for us and them
Johnny Picante's Eco-Tips

MAKING WAVES, June/July 1998


  1. Learn all you can. Read, surf the web and experience the ocean directly.
  2. Be a smart shopper. Ask grocery stores and restaurants about the source of their seafood.
  3. Conserve water. Be careful when washing your car or watering your lawn.
  4. Reduce household pollutants. Cut down and properly dispose of herbicides, pesticides and cleaning products.
  5. Reduce waste. Dispose of trash properly. Where possible, recycle, re-use and compost.
  6. Reduce automobile pollution. Use fuel efficient vehicles or carpool. Recycle motor oil and repair oil and air conditioning leaks.
  7. Protect ocean wildlife. Don't dispose of fishing lines, nets or plastic items in or near the water.
  8. Be considerate of sealife habitats. Don't bother sea birds, mammals and turtles or their nesting grounds. Support marine protected areas.
  9. Get involved. Take part in a beach cleanup or other ocean-oriented activities.
  10. Care! Pass on your knowledge!
