We appreciate your taking action with Waterspirit through our monitoring program offerings, found on our calendar, and timely advocacy opportunities found on our Calls to Action page.

We are human and we are made of mostly water. Living in an interconnected world, our actions ripple through Earth’s environment revealing a crucial duty to preserve sacred water sources. The intrinsic link between plastics and sacred water requires that we empower ourselves to make informed choices and advocate for policies that prioritize the health and integrity of our natural resources.

From the moment plastics are produced, the materials pose significant threats to the purity of our waterways. Understanding and addressing this connection across the life cycle of plastics is vital for the health of our communities and Earth.

Raw materials for plastics are created by extracting fossil fuels-which adds to habitat destruction, water pollution and exacerbates climate crisis. Plastic pollution then threatens sacred water sources by entangling wildlife, introducing toxins into the food chain and changing natural habitats. Single-use plastics have inadequate lifespans and they often end up in water bodies, persisting for hundreds of years, breaking down into microplastics that infiltrate our waterways. Plastic –from start to finish- directly impacts sacred water sources, like the rivers and lakes we so enjoy, through permanent contamination and ecosystems disruption.
