    Waste
    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?

    Honestly, something like this is pretty bare minimum, the only thing I could think of would be convienence. Its really easty to just grab a plastic bottle and go when your'e in a rush. But the environment is more important than taking an extra minute to use my reusable water bottle.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    Many people say that “you can’t feed the world with just organic food.” How would you respond to that statement?

    I believe its possible and very reasonable. For me, it wasn't really that hard to find some great organic options that tasted good!

    I tried to pick a couple topics from different sections, such as food, waste, and energy. I like doing it because it not only keeps the actions I selected in my head, but also other actions that caught my eye I am also being more cautious of what I am doing.
