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 barriers of this new habit are:

Taking time to refill.

More to carry.

To set your self up for success you must restrict yourself from buying as many disposable bottles.
