REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle

While 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?

Bailey O'Donovan 9/01/2023 11:36 AM

Plastic water bottles are very accessible for everyone because they are sold at every gas station, grocery store, shop, and venue. So when I don't bring my reusable water bottle, it is hard to not buy a plastic one. I bought water bottle holder to put around my shoulder so that my water bottle is easier to bring along to places.
