Why this resource matters
Close. Cover. Protect.™ is designed to make participation easy before asking someone for money. A person can learn, complete a simple site or education action, join a community path, share a resource and then decide whether to support a local program.
Key points
- Learn with practical free resources such as storm-drain basics, wet trash, sorting and first-rain checklists.
- Take a small action such as completing the 60-second dumpster check or sharing an education resource.
- Join through volunteering, cleanup participation, school or community outreach, or a workplace connection.
- Bring the program to a workplace, school, HOA or city without implying endorsement or regulatory authority.
- Measure verified participation such as resource use, toolkit requests, cleanups, QR interactions and documented site improvements.
