To avoid accumulating more unnecessary things in the future, I intend to only buy what I need, or buy products that are long-lasting to reduce multiple purchases.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Francisco Cornejo-Garcia 3/15/2021 11:23 PMOf the few single-use items I regularly use, it would have to be vegetable bags that are very thin and usually provided in grocery stores. I might go for a thin cloth bag that can hold vegetables well. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat is the main water source in your region? If you don't know, how could you find out?
Francisco Cornejo-Garcia 3/14/2021 11:07 PMThe main water source in my region is groundwater and comes from a nearby aquifer. I didn't know beforehand, and just took a local search on a search engine to find out.
