  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    The only barriers to using water bottles are certain places that don't allow their drinks to be put into reusable bottles and instead sell them in plastic or paper cups. To make this a permanent habit you can instead bring drinks from home.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    People in richer countries are able to afford more meat while people in poorer countries may be more used to farming for their own food. By eating meat we are contributing to the amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Animal agriculture is responsible for a large part of human-cause greenhouse gas emissions.
