West St. Paul Mayor Dave Napier has accepted the call of action to be part of this year’s Wyland National Mayor's Challenge for Conservation for the month of August to bring West Saint Paul together as a community to conserve water and make a positive impact on the world around us. This is a friendly competition between cities across the nation to see who can be the most water-wise, the Challenge's built-in virtual component features online pledges reminding residents that small changes make big impacts. The pledges create awareness that so many actions that seemingly have nothing to do with water, like saving electricity, recycling, wasting less food, actually have a significant impact on water.
To take the pledge visit www.mywaterpledge.com and find West Saint Paul (it needs to be typed exactly like this). The website also has many interactive components and useful information for families and individuals alike. The Water Footprint Calculator is a handy tool that can help you analyze and understand your personal and household water consumption. There are also daily prizes as well as grand prizes as an added incentive.
