One of the biggest challenges I faced was that as it was getting colder outside, I found myself not wanting to drink the "cold" water! I also found that water gets kind of old. Starting today I am going to either add a lemon or crystal light to my water to make drinking it easier...atleast I hope it helps!
Even though it was kind of a struggle at times drinking all of that water, it felt good to know that just by re-using my metal water bottle every time I was helping out our environment! It feels good to know that what you are doing is helping out in someway or another!
Something interesting I learned this week is that in order to make plastic water bottles 15 million barrels of oil a year needs to be used. That is equivilant to fueling 100,000 cars for a whole year!
I don't think I am going to change much this week except adding some flavor to my water! I might even go to TJ Maxx and buy a class water bottle like Dr. V's for some added inspiration!
