    Drinking 1L of water a day is a good habit to form. I struggle with drinking enough water of a daily basis but a reusable water bottle keeps my water cold and refreshing which is enough incentive for me to reduce/minimize my consumption of bottled or canned drinks.

    I'm pretty sure that the my city's main source of water comes from either ground water or the Mississippi River.

    Transportation
    Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Does this statistic describe your own transportation habits? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?

    Living 2 blocks from campus, my job, and most of the decent coffee shops is a great incentive to not using my car for a 4 minute drive. Instead, I am much more likely to bike to campus, work, etc.
