Whale Safe Habits
Take Action
Join the Whale Safe Habits Campaign!
Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter our oceans, harming whales and marine life. One simple way you can help? Ditch single-use plastic bottles and choose reusables!
How It Works
-
1
Use a reusable water bottle instead of disposable plastic.
-
2
Add your Whalemobile sticker to show your commitment.
-
3
Post a photo on social media with #WhaleSafeHabits to inspire others!
By making this small change, you’re helping to reduce ocean pollution, protect whales from plastic waste, and create a cleaner, healthier planet.
- Don’t have a sticker? Request one or grab one at our events!
- Not on social media? No problem! Share your pledge in person, at school, or at work.
Together, we can turn small habits into big waves of change for whales and the ocean. Are you in?

Don’t use a plastic water bottle
Pledge to NOT use a plastic water bottle for 3 months. At that point, it will definitely become a habit! Print this sheet and fill in each day that you DON’T use a plastic water bottle. Of course you may use one occasionally, but this is such a great way to start reducing your use of plastic.
