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?
Irma Silva 10/08/2018 8:24 AMThe barriers are that normally you can't have a reusable water bottle with you all the time. I have bought a crystal water can to have it always at my car and if we need to go to a place for a long period of time I have it available there and have saved me of buying bottles a lot of times. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhat 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?
Irma Silva 10/08/2018 8:22 AMI ask for a bag or box to use to transport the things to my car without disposable bags. I normally have reusable bags in my car in case that I need to buy something without planning. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationWhat are the factors that influence your choice of transportation? These can include things like money, time, and convenience, as well as perceptions of danger or safety.
Irma Silva 10/08/2018 8:20 AMMoney, time and stress. I try to car pool 4 of 5 ways in the week with my family or friends. -
