I have been more tentative to the world around me instead of on social media. Never realized how much time I spent on social media! 

The next step in saving water is for me to reduce the amount of water that I use when I brush my teeth. I have a bad habit of leaving the water on when I brush my teeth and it is unnecessary.

When you only spend time indoors you aren’t as aware of what all is around you. By exploring the areas around you it helps you to discover new things in your area.

I use a lot of straws when I eat out, I can replace plastic straws with either a reusable metal or plastic straw. I can also just refuse straws and drink straight from the cup instead, which is an easier alternative.

When I am stressed I spend time outside and it helps me to relax. I think that as people spend more and more time outside that nature will be forgotten and replaced by technology.

I plan to save that money and put it towards paying my bills.

Air pollution and water pollution are the main environmental factors that affects the human health in my area. The air pollution comes from car exhaust and factory pollutants. Factory pollutants also affect local water ways. They do not affect the drinking water due to water treatment plants, but they do effect whether or not a Water way is safe to swim in. Humans are the very reasons why these issues exist in our region and they are the ones who cause health issues in the human population.

It all has to do with peoples risk perception of tap water. Many see tap water as unsafe when in actuality it is very treated. There is  also a social construct that bottled water is better than tap water and that it taste better. The best way to make this successful is to not buy any bottled water and just rely on the water from the tap. If there is no bottled water around then one has no choice but to use tap water.
