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?

Imigin Coenen 10/21/2020 11:48 AM

Some barriers I have is that the water in La Crosse may not be as good as the water I drink at home. I have overcome this through these two weeks though. I could make this a habit by bringing my metal water bottle with me wherever I go and just filling it up in the water fountain.
