REFLECTION QUESTION
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?
Vincent Paolucci 4/22/2025 6:53 AM
The location you're in may not have tap water or somewhere you can fill up your water bottle. To solve this you can always keep another, or a bigger reusable water bottle on you. Also you can use map apps to locate a refill station.

Health

How do environmental health, community health, and your personal health intersect?
Vincent Paolucci 4/22/2025 6:40 AM
Environmental Health and Community Health intersect with my personal health as I thrive off my community environment similar to others, so if my community is down then most likely I will be too. As with environmental health that directly impacts my health as if Im in an unhealthy environment then I wouldn't be able to, or struggle to stay healthy.
