    Thank you for taking part! Be sure to add your name and email to our mailing list so we can keep you informed leading up to the big event.

    Here are our top five picks for ways to celebrate Water Hour!

    1. Take action for the Gulf - Donate to a charity working on the cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico, such as those listed on charitynavigator.com. Tweet @BarackObama or your country's politicians to restrict or phase out offshore drilling. You could also send affirmations and prayers to the Gulf of Mexico and all people and creatures that depend on it - post these on our home page, tweet them (using #waterhour), or share them in a gathering.
    2. Walk, canoe, swim at a favourite water place. Take photos, tweet about the experience (using #waterhour), real time or afterward. Did you see water that's in trouble? Tell us about what you did on our home page, and upload photos to our Flickr group or facebook group.
    3. Have a Water Hour party - Gather with families, friends, collegues, and share stories of your most amazing experiences with water. Toast water after each story. Don't forget to post them at www.waterhour.org/watermoments. Play water themed charades and water themed music, and pass the hat to raise money for a water-related charity of your choice. Tell us about it on our home page and upload pictures/video of your party to our Flickr group or Youtube group.
    4. Do a 24 hour 1 gallon challenge - Can your family go for 24 hours using only 1 gallon of water, like millions of families do every day? Start the challenge at 8PM on June 11th. Post about the experience on our home page, our facebook group, or tweet about it using #waterhour.
    5. Declare your own personal commitment to action; whatever it may be, large or small - you could pledge to stop using bottled water, install a rain barrel, or boycott household cleaners with nasty chemicals. Invite others in the Water Hour community to make the same pledge – see if you can get a chain reaction going! Post your declaration at www.waterhour.org/declare.
