WALK FOR PEOPLE. WALK FOR PLANET. WALK FOR WATER.

Last Earth Month we let our feet do the talking with our first-ever Aveda Walk for Water. Over 130 walks were held around the world for clean water.

The Aveda Walk for Water happens in cities all over the world during the week of Earth Day, April 22—to raise awareness and funding for clean water organizations. Find a walk near you here.

Find your local Earth Month Leader Salon/Spa here. Earth Month Leaders are locations that met or exceeded their Earth Month fundraising goals.



TAKE YOUR OWN STEPS.

Clean water makes a world of difference, and conservation is one of the easiest, most inexpensive ways to prevent water shortages. It's a simple as becoming more aware, and using less each time you use water:

Use less water in your home and yard to prevent wastewater and pollution from runoff. Sweep driveways and sidewalks, rather than hosing them down.
Use pesticides sparingly—if at all—and compost leaves and yard clippings for use as natural fertilizer in your garden or yard.
Pick up—and properly dispose of—pet waste, trash and other debris in your neighborhood; street gutters and storm drains often run directly into lakes, streams, rivers and wetlands.
Keep your car clean and green: choose a professional car wash that recycles its water; promptly repair auto leaks; and recycle used motor oil—a single quart that seeps into groundwater can pollute 250,000 gallons of drinking water*.
Properly recycle electronics, appliances, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), silver batteries and paint to keep toxic pollutants out of your water.
