Ty Lopez 7/07/2023 10:21 AMI was out and about yesterday with my co-worker and I gave her a reusable water bottle. Every place we went we used our water bottles. Even at some of our friends place. I told them about the challenge. They said that it was a great idea since we get water bottles at different event. Some of our friend already use them when traveling on and out the reservation. Told them that was great. Trying to get my co-worker to keep using her water bottle as will as our friends. -
Ty Lopez 7/05/2023 3:55 PMI only use one coffee cup in the morning but it goes in the land fill. I have reusable coffee cups from different places or as gifts. The only thing is I need to get up a little earlier to make my coffee. I have one of those coffee makers that you put on the stove that percolate. I been mostly getting my coffee at QuikTrip. -
Ty Lopez 7/05/2023 3:43 PMI had forgotten that, I had bought some bamboo utensils. I have been using them at work and washing them before I put them back in the container. I keep it in my back pack, so it is always with me. If I stop to pick up something that they give me a plastic fork. I tell them I don't need it. They do give me a crazy look sometimes.-

Ty Lopez 7/05/2023 3:33 PMI have been able to keep a reusable water bottle with me the last couple of days. I can get ice and water at the gas stations just let them know before I get it. They are happy in letting me do this. The first day, I was in a hurry to get to work and forgot my water bottle. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONKitchen Fill a Water BottleUsing 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?
Ty Lopez 7/01/2023 10:30 AMMost of the time I forgot my water bottle at home. This time I am going to work on keeping my water bottle with me. Hope not to leave it at home.
