  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water Fix Leaky Faucets
    Fixing leaky faucets is one of the tasks that we can easily put off until later. Good job on completing this action! How will you use the momentum from completing this action to increase your water efficiency in other ways?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste 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?

    Now as plastic bags are banned. It's not available anywhere to get it. I am using my plastic bin to collect the waste and dispose then wash it. not using the covers.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water Insulate Water Pipes and Water Heater
    How do you think climate change will affect your region’s water supply? Think about the effects of weather, storms, salinity, and sea level rise, among other changes. How can you find out more about climate change’s impact to your region's water?

    Mohan Kumar Noothalapati 10/21/2019 9:28 PM
    The climate changes affecting the ground water.. we should dig deeper and deeper to get proper water but many times it is failing too. Earlier we use to get fresh water in 100 ft itself.

    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    Mohan Kumar Noothalapati 10/20/2019 9:48 PM
    Instead of an exercise in your home, just go to the nearest park and do friendship with others such that it will be nice to exercise daily.

    Electricity is generated from hydel power plants. I think most of the water animals are affected.
