Laura James wins Cox Conserves Hero Award<\/p><\/div>\n

Diver and volunteer extraordinaire, Laura James, was nominated by the Cox Conserves Heroes program for her amazing work scuba diving to get batteries out of Puget Sound (see short video of the Great Battery Round-up<\/a>). \u00a0The grand prize for the award was a generous gift of $10,000 to Laura’s nonprofit of choice. \u00a0We are very grateful that Laura selected SWS to help us continue our fight against the Tox-Ick Monster. \u00a0Funds will be used to create resources to help other groups around the region adopt the Don’t Feed the Tox-Ick Monster<\/em> campaign in their communities.<\/p>\n

Together, many of us taking small steps like picking up dog poop, and larger steps like organizing education events in our local communities, we really can help restore Puget Sound. \u00a0Collectively, communities around Puget Sound can be the biggest force shaping the health of our waterways, and the fate of our cherished salmon and killer whales. \u00a0We hope you too will choose to be a hero. \u00a0If you want to get involved, contact cate@tox-ick.org<\/p>\n
