    I made sure to not buy any plastic water bottles today after work and brought a water jug with me instead.

    It is going good, I looked at all of the tasks that are provided and they all seem very beneficial to our day to day lives and some also to the earth.

    How did exercising each day impact your physical or mental well-being? What activity did you enjoy most, and why?

    Exercising always positively effects my mental and physical well being. When I go to the gym and do my workout I feel great and when I play basketball I am definitely enjoying my time more than with weights. Working out for me personally has always made me feel better about myself, and basketball also is what I love and will always love to do in my free time.

    Do you know where your campus or community gets its water? If not, how could you find out?

    I do not know exactly where our campus gets their sources for water. I could find out by contacting the school and the manager positions of the cafeteria and stores on campus to get a better idea.
