  • 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?

    No real barriers in the US as the water system is regulated more than the water in bottled water.  We drink bottled water because its easy.  So the only barrier i guess would be our own laziness to wash and use the same bottle.
