  • 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?

    I have a steel bottle that stores my filtered water.  Sometimes it is filled with half filtered water and half seltzer from a can.

    For every dollar I spend on a non-necessity for myself, I will contribute to charity or NGO.  This way non-necessities become luxury items which I cannot afford on a fixed income.
