  • 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?

    When I know I will be thirsty, but don't want to be responsible for a large metal bottle, I can see where I might be less inclined to use a refillable bottle. By remembering the video of polluted water that we watched in class, I will convince myself to use a refillable water bottle.

    Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing
    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    I am not sure of how our electricity is generated or what the impact on the environment is. I will be sure to ask my dad the next time I am home.
