  • 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?

    Using what you have instead of supporting further harm by buying things you don't necessarily need is a great way to reduce your impact, or buying or using secondhand instead of new. Aesthetics feel like they matter but in reality that isn't necessarily better for anyone or anything.

    it's super easy to just not be wasteful when it comes to the toilet - don't dump random stuff in it and don't flush when it's empty

    I learned that there are many animal-borne diseases that get transmitted as places are industrialized and deforested, and that biodiversity increases an ecosystem's resilience.

    People Spend Time Outside
    Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
