Rong Zhou Chen 4/14/2020 11:53 AMWe have a water purifier that can accept the spring water on the mountain and use the water purifier to filter. Because my family is from Asia, we generally drink warm water (high water temperature can kill bacteria). -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh Water Water-Friendly Beauty ProductsBeyond what does or doesn't come out of the tap at home, how do your choices affect freshwater locally and globally?
Rong Zhou Chen 4/02/2020 10:25 AMIf it is not in the right direction, the global water sources will be polluted and only a few of them will be clean. Water is one of the most important human resources. It is also possible to wage war for water. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh Water Get Involved in the Water Justice MovementWho is affected by polluted water or a lack of access to water in your region? How are they affected?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh Water Use a Reusable Water BottleUsing 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?
