  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Use Reusables at Work
    It is often true that we only have control over our own actions and not the collective community. How can you lead by example when it comes to switching disposables for reusable dishes in your community?

    Provide a consistent example of action.  Provide alternate source of reusable containers to my community. Partner with a local business and distribute reusable dishes to a group or body.  
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Use Reusable Water Bottles
    Using the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed by this bottling process?

    By exposing the practice of those who seek to exploit what is not theirs.  Further investigation into the water rights by a qualified body would be essential.
