While our individual actions may seem insignificant, especially during this unique time in history where the world is at home, this impact can help influence others to make a positive difference in their lives, community, and the world. Ecochallenge provides a great opportunity for Chapman University students to get involved virtually and take action on their own and I'm proud to be a part of the Civic Panthers team and a further engaged as a global citizen.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Water 5-Minute Showers

Name some of the human activities impacting the health of water systems, both locally (your watershed) and globally (freshwater and oceans). What can you do to improve the health of water systems?

I am also able to use my water bottle more than once due to the ability to rinse and wash my current container to prevent the spread of bacteria.
