1) Reduce the use of fertilizers and pesticides on your lawn.
2) Keep your driveway clean by sweeping rather than hosing it down.
3) Direct stormwater from your roof leaders onto vegetation which can filter it and let it seep into the soil.
4) Fix oil leaks in your car and dispose of used motor oil properly (never in storm sewers!).
5) If you buy toxic cleansers, use them up, don't pour the remainder down the drain.
6) Put your trash in proper receptacles, at the beach and in your hometown.
7) Clean up after your pets.
8) Maintain your septic system.
9) Dispose of boat sewage in onshore sanitary facilities, not by dumping in the water.
10) Buy organic food.
More generally, try not to drip, drop or toss things outside or down the drain. Remember, most of what goes around really does come around...at the beach.
Happy Earth Day to you and yours.

Don't dump waste into bodies of water.
Cut down on gas-powered water transportation - boats, jet skis, etc.
Petition member(s) in office (H.O.R., Senate, Governor, etc.) to protect the bodies of water by increasing fine for catching people who pollute it, inform industries to not dump waste into water, etc.
Form a rally.
Organize events within your city to inform others about water pollution and how to prevent it.
Prevent car wash materials such as soap, tire cleaner, de-greasers from getting into sewage.
Organize sewage cleanups <--- who would want to do this?
Prevent fertilizers and lawn care products from getting into the sewage / water streams, lakes, etc.
