The next step that can be taken after trying to take 5 minute showers is to reduce the amount of water used when doing daily tasks, like using recycled water for other purposes.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhile 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?
Julia Knauz 10/03/2018 7:29 PMIt is fairly easy to make the change to reduce waste from using plastic water bottles, but one way to reduce this is to get one water bottle that can be used for water, and then with this, you can use the tap to fill up your water bottle instead of buying a bunch of disposable water bottles. -
