REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile 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?
Isaac Eklund 2/27/2019 7:04 PMWhen 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. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Choose Two-Sided PrintingChoosing 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?

REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Isaac Eklund 2/27/2019 7:00 PMI 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.-
