REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

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?
Ethan Rose 10/08/2019 12:53 PM
Some barriers of using tap water is maybe people don't have an infinite source of water like us. We can help those in need by helping them acquire a source of water that is reliable so they can use reusable water bottles.
