Iowa American Water Shares Simple Ways to Make Earth Day Every Day

[DAVENPORT, IA] – APRIL 22, 2024 – Iowa American Water delivers high-quality drinking water to over 225,000 people statewide. Protecting water at its source is an important part of treating and delivering water and wastewater service.

Protecting and conserving our water resources requires a collective effort from the community. Some materials can impact waterways if poured down the drain, flushed down the toilet, or dumped on the ground. This Earth Day, join us and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and treat every day like Earth Day by adopting the tips below:

  • Join a community cleanup event
  • Turn off the water to brush your teeth and shave
  • Collect rainwater to use in your garden
  • Use reusable water bottles
  • Grow an organic garden
  • Run full loads of laundry and dishes

Additionally, Saturday, April 27 is the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This day encourages the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes in a safe and eco-friendly manner. Drop-off locations are open from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time. Visit dea.gov/takebackday for more information and a list of local drop-off locations.
