QUESTION

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?
Maybe 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?
To be honest there is not much that stands in my way noting I used a reusable one the majority of the time, the only thing that I need to do is to commit to using one all the time.
Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
I belive that that quote is very true noting I love the outside and am mystified by some of its wonders. I feel that we spend to much time inside and that we need to just go outside and look at the natural world sometimes.
