  • 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?

    Our society is so inherently negative that gratitude can reframe our perception that things aren't so bad.

    I'm going to be more diligent about bringing a water bottle and using my Aeropress 3-4 times a week to cut back on waste and to save $.
