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?

You can try to give the neglected some of your own or provide the necessities they need to make them better

REFLECTION QUESTION
Wildlife Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

Jack Lowman 4/30/2020 6:11 PM

I would insert the items into a cart to reduce plastic bag usage as well as make it easier for myself

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

Jack Lowman 3/09/2020 5:21 AM

This doesn’t surprise me at all because people do not spend their money wisely and need to spend more efficiently.
