  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Fill a Water Bottle
    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?

    I am happy that I have switched to using a refillable water bottles.  I had no idea how long it takes for some of the plastics to break down.  It's alarming and now I am helping with the plastic reduction.

    It's a learning curve for sure.  Knowing or estimating how many bags you will need and then how much to place into each bag without making them to heavy and backing up the register belt thus holding up the line while bagging.  But I do not have a lot of unnecessary plastic bags just setting around the house and my reusable are back in the car ready to go.
