Elexi Schwartz 4/14/2020 3:52 PMMy challenge has been going ok. One of my challenges was to use reusable water bottles everyday instead of plastic bottles. This challenge has been going great because I have been using a reusable bottle every single day during this challenge! -
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?
Elexi Schwartz 4/14/2020 3:16 PMI can make other people aware of this issue and encourage them to stop using plastic water bottles. I will also continue to use reusable water bottles insteade of purchasing plastic bottles.-
