REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat are the most prominent water concerns in your area? Examples include drought, flooding, pollution, access, security, and privatization.
Rebecca Steiner 10/04/2019 7:38 AMNative plants tend to either re-seed or be perennials. I was able to turn a shady, wet corner of my yard that had formerly been empty into a habitat-appropriate native garden. Looking forward to seeing it bloom next year. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhile 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?
Rebecca Steiner 10/04/2019 7:35 AMHaving the bottle with me when I need it is my biggest challenge. Getting a bottle that I can clip to me or carrying a bag more frequently could help.
