  • 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?

    the barrier for making reusable water bottles more popular is convineance. People like being able to jus throw something away after using it but if we keep promoting the use of reuable bottles and the helthy affects it will have the environoment I think more people will make the switch.

    Waste Skip the Straw
    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

    I could incorporate the R's into my life by using reusable things such as cups, bottles and mugs. I can refuse things like straws or unneccesary plastic wrappings. I can repurpose by finding a different use for things after they have served their original purpose to avoid sending it to the landfill.

    To save energy we could take shorter showers, limit the electricity we use each day and also bike or walk to destinations instead of driving
