The Wyland Living Green Clean Water Pledge Initiative Begins Today
According to Wyland, the pledge initiative is to encourage Dolphins fans of all ages to do their part for clean water and healthy oceans in South Florida; save water, money, and our environment; reduce pollution, and ensure a healthy planet for dolphins and other ocean friends. The objective is to save 10 million gallons of water, reduce waste to landfills by half a million pounds, and eliminate more than 10,000 gallons of household cleaners from entering local waters. Beginning today, all those who take the pledge at www.livinggreenfair.com get a chance to win Dolphins game tickets, dinners for two, and an original, signed Wyland artwork for their home.
