I Like project BLUE on FaceBook.
I use a reusable mug to bring coffee to work. Saves paper from the millions of cups wasted at coffee shops.
I’m a friend on facebook (melissa valmonte)
We raise money for beach clean-up from recycling plastics. We have the elementary school on board with our efforts.
Never polluting by flushing chemicals down the drain.
Great site. I keep blinds drawn in the house during the hot/sunny days. It saves a lot on my air conditioning usage. I’d love the men’s Nixon Outsider Tide Watch, Thanks!
I make a conscious effort to reuse plastic water bottles instead of buying new. We also bring our on togo mugs and cups to fill up on fountain soda or coffee. Less plastic that might make its way to the ocean.
i like blue on facebook!
I don’t leave the water running while brushing my teeth. Also cut up the plastic rings that hole pop cans together and never litter. and I would take the board shorts

I conserve! And I donate to organizations that work for a better environment. I love the Nixon Outsider Tide Watch, i’d love to win that.
bought he energy star washer/dryer. garden organically. water run to get hot goes to pet bowls then plants. fighting city to use drought tolerant plants instead of golf course lawn.
probably need the sunglasses if they fit petites but like the ladies packs very much.
we are swearing off of plastic and anything styro, way too much ends up in out oceans and any we do get goes in to the recycle bin. love the mayday sunglasses

I don’t use plastic water bottles.
i buy reuseable cups whenever i can and reuse themlol
I carry a trash bag on my daily walks and pick up trash along my route. I’d like the women’s backpack.
I bring my recyclable water bottle to school and work to minimize purchase and use of plastic bottled water and we bring our own food containers when we order food to go instead of having them placed in styros. I prefer to receive the sunglasses

I would get the family together and clean up trash on the beach. :)
I’ve had a rain barrell for 2 years now that I use for lawn & flowerbed watering. I only wash full loads of laundry and when weather permits hang the clothes out to dry. I questioned the practice of “Flushing fire hydrants” to 2 city water & sewer workers. I would love the men’s watch,too!
i use a reusable cup whenever i am out and about. this avoids using disposible coffee mugs and water bottles.
daily tweet. Thank you! http://twitter.com/Aerated/status/18994438210
We bottle our own bottled water each week. We use the same containers so that there’s isn’t any waste.
I would love the board shorts. My son is a HUGE Billabong fan ;o)
We actually do a number of things to be more eco-friendly with our oceans and waterways, such as energy conservation, recycling, etc., but the one thing we are very conscious about is avoiding single-use plastic products whenever possible; for example, we do not purchase bottled water or soda.
Among the avaiable gifts, I would select the Nixon Outsider Tide Watch. ;)
We bought water bottles which we refill to save from buying/using/tossing bottled water. LOVE the Nixon Outsider Tide Watch
To help the waterways I dispose of liquid wastes like paint at collection centers in the neighborhood.
I like the watch most.
I don’t buy bottled water or soda, recycle and use my own mug and water cup at work! Saves many paper cups from going into the trash!
I would love the board shorts!

I don’t litter, and we teach the kids to never throw anything in the water, especially when we’re on the boat or at the beach.
I’d like the men’s board shorts.

We go several times a year to clean trash out of local rivers and clean up the banks. I’d love to win the 2 Dakine surf packs.
We live right on the Gulf Waters so to keep our beach clean I bring a bag with me to pick up the trash left behind by others. We don’t have oil in our beach yet so I havent assisted with oil cleanup yet but i made sure all garbage was cleared.
All the prizes are great my favorite is the Dakine Surf Pack.
I follow Project Blue on Facebook.

Recyle, recycle, recycle. When I’m visiting the beach i also pick up trash as I walk.
I like all of the prizes but I think the sunglasses are my favorite, followed closely by the watch.
I checked out project blue and I’m helping the world’s waterways by ALWAYS recycling and not using plastic bottles….
I would like to enter for the Electric Visual Mayday Sunglasses for women..thank you!

We will not mow our front lawn. this allows a natural haven for the local wild animals, saves gas and encourages wildflower growth. I need sunglasses.
