I can talk to my community about it. I can also research it and use some of the research I find to help.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh WaterUsing 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?
Ruby Leggat 3/31/2020 1:27 PMWe need to show the companies how much this effects the people living near these plants, Show the effects and provide evidence on how harmful this is. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh WaterHow can your region/household prepare for changing water situations in order to become more resilient?
Ruby Leggat 3/31/2020 1:25 PMWe can try and find ways to conserve water as much as possible. We can try to spread out our showers and when we do shower make them as quick as possible, we can also try and use the same utensils and plates all day. Using the same utensils all day wont hurt anyone and then it is less use of the sink and dishwasher. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONForestsMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Ruby Leggat 3/31/2020 1:23 PMThere isn't much standing between me and this goal but Sometimes I do use single use cups and i would like to eliminate my use all together. This action makes me feel good and like I am helping even though its not big.
