    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?

    There are no barriers, it's something when used becomes a habit. Be consistent when cleaning the bottles to ensure good health. Using the bottles makes it easier to take your drinks every place you go.

    I hope to get my granddaughters involved with a challenge. I'm going to start by trying to get them to turn off lights!

      Growing up, my grandmother always reminded us to turn off the lights in her house!

    In the St. Louis area, we have fossil, reactive and nuclear. An amazing thing our St. Louis Zoo learned from Chicago's Brookfield Zoo is when our power company trims around our power lines, the limbs and branches, which are called browse, are stored and fed to our animals in the winter time.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    What are the ways in which voters are prohibited from or discouraged from voting in your region and/or state? What could be done to get rid of these barriers?

    People are stealing political signs which is a crime. Some have trouble with identification. One of my friends just moved to another state. She forgot to get an ID in her new state. She was sent to a DMV that was closed. Eventually, she
    received the help she needed and was able to vote. This was especially important to her as she is a convicted felon due to drugs, but has been clean for 24 yrs and has helped many others stay sober. She has received so much encouragement from others and wouldn't give up. Stolen signs? Just keep replacing them
