  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    We need to ensure that there are water fountains, refilling stations, and other resources that encourage the use of reusable bottles and tap water. I will always carry around my reusable bottle instead of a plastic bottle. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Go For A Daily Walk Outside
    Fresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?

    I am more relaxed and it is a good way to reflect after a long day of school. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water 5-Minute Showers

    I can encourage others to take shorter showers, use refillable water bottles, and use less water.
