Best of all, you're supporting the health and economic vitality of our nation's waterways and ecosystems. <http://www.wylandfoundation.org/p/mayors> <http://www.wylandfoundation.org/p/mayors> Hundreds of mayors and city leaders take part every April! <https://gallery.mailchimp.com/03afcb0f1a6340564d8304b38/images/b8ef0cb7 -2721-464d-8f91-586e4529d8b5.png> Every year during the month of April, this non-profit, no-cost, community service campaign encourages communities to work together for clean water and a healthy ocean. It's as simple as: 1) Mayors and city officials communicate the challenge to their residents; 2) Residents make online pledges to conserve our natural resources; 3) Residents of the cities with the most pledges are eligible to win a Toyota Highlander Hybrid and thousands of dollars of other eco-friendly prizes thanks to our presenting partner Toyota and our program partners The Toro Company, and Earth Friendly Products (ECOS). <http://www.wylandfoundation.org/p/mayors> Simply make a statement of support for conservation, the Mayor’s Challenge, and/ or what your city is doing for conservation. This statement will be shared on your city’s customized landing page for everyone taking the pledge in your city. <http://www.wylandfoundation.org/p/mayors> PLATFORM TO COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY TO YOUR RESIDENTS Communicate the Challenge to your citizens on your city website, newsletter, inserts in utility bill mailers, social media, events, whatever works for your city. An electronic toolkit is provided that provides all needed to communicate the Challenge to residents. Let your citizens know you support their conservation efforts. <http://www.wylandfoundation.org/p/mayors> Your residents simply go to mywaterpledge.com <http://www.mywaterpledge.com/> , select your city, view your statement on conservation, and make a series of simple online pledges to conserve water and other natural resources. After making their pledges, residents will see the positive impacts from their commitment over the coming year, including how much water and money they will save.
