REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Use Reusable Bags

How difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?

Sara Zaloudek 7/08/2019 5:51 AM

I have been doing well with this, but I am running into some trouble when buying things at the store that are already in plastic containers (like my trail mix). I may just make a large batch of my own to prevent the plastic bag use.

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?

Sara Zaloudek 7/08/2019 5:49 AM

I've been using my Yeti every day during our week off and have not been using plastic water bottles!
