    Fixing leaky faucets is one of the tasks that we can easily put off until later. Good job on completing this action! How will you use the momentum from completing this action to increase your water efficiency?

    If there is leaky faucets, I will either redirect it to some container so that it can be used or else we tap is leaky will put the bucket under that so that we can use it later. I never leave behind this and put it under urgent task
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use Reusable Bags
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?

    If I see that I have forgot my jute bag which I reuse and goes for years and years I put things in my pocket if it is small and walk out of store or else I carry in hand to put in my bike which has big space for carrying goods one by one. But I don't accept any bags even it is disposable. I carry my own jute bag most of time. Also I have my laptop bag with me most of time, so I stuff my things in that if I can.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Go Paperless
    Reducing your paper mail can be such a freeing action to take -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

    I have strictly said NO to all paper mail and requested all the necessary information to be sent by email to most of the authority and communication channel. I even preferred my electricity bill to be generated online rather paper.

    Its really sad to see all that paper getting wasted which is not at all required.

    Mostly economically challenged people who depends on municipal water or tap water in locality installed for public usage. Water coming out of these taps are contaminated due to pollution and irregular check.
