QUESTION
WasteUse a Reusable Water Bottle
While water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?
The barrier was to carry a water bottle everywhere. The other one point was to find places where clean drinking water is available. It made easy to buy water bottles.
But in the last few years, I haven't purchased a water bottle. I carry my water bottle everywhere now.
Also, I refill the water bottles at restaurants, airports, railway stations or even other random houses where they offer water.
