REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

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?
Alexander P4/58A 10/08/2018 6:29 PM
The barriers of this new habit are:

Taking time to refill.

Washing the bottles.

More to carry.

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