    going to see my local park has been good for me to get out and see how the park has been holding up over the years and what needs to be fixed up and refurbished and to see if the trees are still holding up strong

    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?

    Drinking from a water bottle has been easier to measure how much i have been drinking and helps me make sure I'm drinking enough and it helps reduce plastics

    It was different and something new to try and do getting the people to sign for the petition and researching information on the subject.
