REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Switch to Cold Water

What do you plan to do with the money you save from making more energy efficient choices?

I'm not really making any of these changes to save ££s, it's more about making the earth's resources go further and reducing my carbon footprint. I think people can only realistically have a limited impact in helping our planet now - we desperately need governments and corporates to do more to bring about the global changes that are needed.

  I agree. We need a great volume of change. Besides incorporating more sustainable actions into our daily life, we must keep advocating for changes in government and corporations, the ones who can make a huge impact more quickly because of the amount of anything they do/ deal with.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle

While 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?

I always carry a refillable water bottle with me when I go out. I see more fill stations across London now and many fast food joints will refill if you ask them to - it's a great habit to develop.

Corporates lobby to continue selling 'convenient' drinks wherever you travel. If they switched back to returnable glass I'd consider it. Let's be more Denmark ! - Denmark's Glass Bottle Recycling Success - RecycleNation
