REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Chloe Turner 5/09/2022 1:18 AMTo my knowledge most electricity in San Bernardino comes from generation using Conventional Hydroelectric. This happens when combined with Natural Gas and Solar. These three fuel types are what makes energy production. San Bernardino has 6 power plants in the city. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Use Reusable BottlesWhat are some of the needs that water meets or benefits that water provides for you?
Chloe Turner 4/13/2022 12:54 PMFor me personally water and clean living is important to me most o the time I try and drink somewhere around 3-5 gallons of water a day depending on if that’s a hot and busy day for me. When doing track and outside for majority of the time especially in the heat I have to stay hydrated and not waiting until I’m extremely thirsty to drink water.-
Ariana Ariana 4/15/2022 6:23 PMHi Chloe!
You gave a nice response to that question. I agree that we don't have to wait until we are extremely thirsty to start drinking water. I think water besides keeping us hydrated and refreshed, helps with digestion, and maintains a clear/ focused mind and energized body.
