Do your part this Earth Month to save our planet by taking part in our free, online pledge to conserve water, save money and reduce pollution - and win thousands in prizes March 30 - April 30 at mywaterpledge.com.

Mayors nationwide will be asking their residents to make a free, online commitment to drastically slash water and energy use across the country by taking part in a national contest this Earth Month - and in return, residents in cities with the most participation qualify to win a new Toyota Prius Hybrid, water saving fixtures and hundreds of other prizes.

Last year's challenge, in Southern California alone, resulted in a total pledged savings of over 897,000,000 gallons of water with 3,184,095 pounds of trash kept from landfills and 27,936,170 pounds of CO2 emissions reduced.

This year's challenge is nationwide so let's come together to do our part to help our planet with an even greater number of pledges. Be sure to tell your mayors, friends, neighbors and everyone you know to take a minute out of their day to take this free, online pledge to conserve water and energy this Earth Month, March 30 - April 30.
