Responsible water use is the right thing to do. We live in a desert after all! We invite your class to join the 2008 H2O Honor Roll by discovering and sharing creative ways to save water inside and outside their homes at TMWA’s latest interactive Web site: www.howdoyousave.org.

All participating students will receive an SPF 15 TMWA lip balm.
