Freshwater + Oceans

Use a Reusable Water Bottle

It's estimated over a billion water bottles are thrown away each year. Even if they were recycled, that still uses energy and resources from the earth. I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I participated in the South Lyon area creek cleanup on Sunday April 21, 2024. We cleared the creeks, parks and roadside of debris. It was amazing in 3 hours that a large dumpster was filled with debris. It was a fun time working with fellow Comerica employees. This clean-up effort made me realize that us humans need to be more mindful of our environment and throw our trash in the proper receptacles instead of being lazy and just throwing on the ground. In most of the areas that I picked up trash there was a trash container in near walking distance and people still threw their trash on the ground.

  I have come to realize the same as you, most of the trash I have picked up has come from Comerica Bank parking lots where there is a trash can within a few steps. So sad how people have zero respect for others property as well as the environment in which we live,
