REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?
Kyler Cooke 3/11/2024 3:13 PMSometimes I may be in a place where I need water and all that is available is bottles. This can be at an event or social function. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Spend Time OutsideRachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Kyler Cooke 3/11/2024 3:11 PMI believe that this rings true to an extent. Being outside definitely helps us develop this. A culture that never goes outside will not have a proper care or understanding for the world. -

Kyler Cooke 3/11/2024 3:00 PMI'm not sure. I know that it comes from the city but not a specific body of water. I could look up the city of San Diego and research water sources for the area. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Kyler Cooke 3/11/2024 2:59 PMElectricity is generated from solar panels I believe that connect to my dorm. These are very sustainable and don't have large impact on the environment. -
