All we need to do is make sure we are using sustainable products, and being mindful of how much water we are using. This is a good first step!

REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh Water Eco-friendly GardeningWhat are the most prominent water concerns in your area? Examples include drought, flooding, pollution, access, security, and privatization.
Hana Levy 4/21/2020 12:57 PMThere is a lot of pollution in our neighborhood. Not just in water, but on land too. When we are walking right next to our house, we see trash scattered everywhere. It is so sad. People need to learn not to be lazy, and learn more about this plastic issue, and not just plastic, just general pollution. -

REFLECTION QUESTION
-
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?
Hana Levy 4/03/2020 1:01 PMMy reusable water bottle is important. I have multiple, in case on starts leaking.
