  • 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?

    m family has already been doing this for a long time we never ever get bottled water unless it is a dire situation. we always bring meta water bottles out because we know how much cheaper it is and that it's a lot better for the environment.

    I saved my water by trying to limit my toilet and shower uses because these are the two things that take up the most time. for example, the shower uses a lot of water depending on how long you spend in it I saved water by just having shower time around five minutes compared to 20. I also know that a toilet uses around two gallons per flush so I also limited the times I flush per day
