  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?

    I only use disposable water bottles when travelling (by air) or at a client's for work.  The last airline trip I took I brought by empty re-usable container through security, and filled it up from the drinking fountain.  Much better than buying a plastic bottle of water.
