Here is the link for the above photo. I thought it was a cool picture of water bottles and I actually found it on someone's blog that is all about being environmentally friendly.
Hi everyone! I chose to do the Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change project. I didn't have a hard time coming up with my project at all, since it's actually something I've been meaning to do for awhile and it ties in to my blog really well. For my SMART goal,over the next ten weeks I will reduce the amount of plastic water bottles I use per week to one. By the end of the ten weeks, I will only be using reusable and glass water bottles. I will be purchasing a glass water bottle so that I can reuse that one. I tend to go through A LOT of plastic water bottles, especially the Smart Water bottles. I feel that this will be a challenge for me, since I find it so convenient to just grab a bottle of water when I'm at the store. This project is eco-friendly since using plastic water bottles is a waste, along with the fact that using glass instead of plastic is much better for you. Along with that, it'll save me some money along the way! I am really looking forward to this project and keeping up with how others are doing throughout the semester. To start, I better get this plastic water bottle off my desk :)
I really like your lifestyle change! I try to avoid using plastic bottles as much as I can, too.. and it saves me a lot of money along the way! It's nice that UMD has put in more of those water bottle fillers so we don't have to use the gross water fountain!
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of people who have the same problem, disposing of too many plastic bottles. Maybe if we all shared this idea with one other person, it would have a big effect. I thought it was tough to get away from the convenience of just grabbing a bottle, but now filling a bottle every morning is just habit. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a hard, but not unattainable, goal. I really like this goal too because we as a world community use way too many plastic water bottles that just sit in landfills for thousands of years. Besides, the water from plastic water bottles is not always safe and is not FDA regulated.
