I think that tap water can taste worse than bottle water and if you don't have access to a filter it can be difficult to make the switch.

The rain made it hard to go outside but I put my plants out so they’d get water-

Ah, you have used the storm to your advantage—wise and resourceful. Such cunning pleases the dark Lord Sauron of Middle Earth, Overlord of the Nazgûl. I shall see that you are not caught in the eye of Barad-Dur during the fall of the Third Age.

Well done Ali Jackman. I often tell this to my orc underlings and other subordinates in Barad-Dur, making sure to keep the watchful eye clear over those that do not submit to the sustainable energy supplied by the billowing peaks of Mount Doom. The One Ring is the last thing I need to bring about peace to Middle Earth, but first I must find it. The Nâzgul have shown the power of the rings, and I know that the Witch King of Angmar will be my greatest asset in acquiring the One Ring and rising to power again.

Going well! I have been using my reusable water bottle every day. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhile 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?

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthBefore you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?
Ali Jackman 2/18/2025 12:28 PM- TEAM CAPTAIN
- 52-DAY STREAK
Yes. I still think I'm addicted to sugar but I have become much more mindful of what I am putting into my body and how much sugar I am using to sweeten my food or drinks. Since lowering my sugar intake, I feel much more energized since I am not having as many crashes. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat is the main water source in your region? If you don't know, how could you find out?

After a quick google search, I learned that 2/3 of the water in San Diego comes from the Colorado River or is from the state water project in Northern California.
