  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Fresh Water Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    Using the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed - both humans and wildlife - by this bottling process?

    Social media allows everyone to vocalize issues daily and this could be reached out through videos and posts. If more people decide to use a different water brand, that water brand that is violating rights would lose their demand and have to make adjustments to even survive.

    A shock event has been the coronavirus which despite causing a negative effect in our communities, has positively impacted pollution.

    Overall less water usage. It's the little things like turning the faucet off the 2 minutes you brush your teeth.

    It helps with all the busy tasks that are needed to be completed from me. Sitting in front of a computer and not talking to anyone will drive anyone crazy after a few days. I contacted several cousins (some abroad) and they were really appreciative.

    Beyond what does or doesn't come out of the tap at home, how do your choices affect freshwater locally and globally?

    My choices affect freshwater supply because little things like washing your face for multiple minutes or keeping the faucet on when brushing teeth wastes more water and over the years that amount compounds so much.
