My Water Pledge is a friendly competition between cities across the US to see who can be the most “water-wise.” Mayors nationwide will challenge their residents to conserve water, energy and other natural resources on behalf of their city through a series of informative, easy-to-use pledges online.
Cities with the highest percentage of residents who take the challenge in their population category win. Cities will compete in the following population categories: 5,000-29,999, 30,000-99,999, 100,000-299,999. 300,000-599,999, 600,000+). Participants in the winning cities are eligible to win hundreds of prizes. By the way, your mayor doesn’t have to participate for your city to win… But every person makes a difference! Last year, the challenge awarded more than $50,000 in prizes to nearly 300 residents in U.S. cities.
“Through participation in the National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation the City of Yonkers reinforces its commitment to protecting and preserving our most precious natural resources for generations to come. We all play an important role in ensuring a sustainable future and this initiative presents a unique opportunity for residents to take simple, yet meaningful measures to reduce water consumption, conserve energy and save dollars. Yonkers welcomes the friendly competition from cities across the country and I encourage all our residents to take the My Water Pledge,” said Mayor Mike Spano.
