  • 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?

    I sometimes forget my reusable bottle. One way to make it a habit is to put it in my bag right after it is washed. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing
    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    I can encourage other staff members to use double sided papers. My student have also said that as part of their reduce waste campaign in school they could make sure they talk to family and friends about using both sides of a paper for printing and in their notebooks and posting facts about how much paper can be saved by double side printing.
