The Daily Assignment

HOW CAN EACH OF US HELP? If you really want to get involved and help the environment, you’ve got to start somewhere, right? Let’s begin slowly and see if we can build some good habits. Americans purchase about 50 billion water bottles per year which averages 13 water bottles per month for every American. That’s just the United States! How about purchasing a nice refillable water bottle you can carry around and fill up instead of purchasing beverages in all those easily disposable plastic bottles? (If only 1 million Americans made this simple change, that would be a year with 156 million less plastic bottles! Pretty cool right)?

By the way, hundreds of thousands of people around the world are trying to do something helpful for the environment. But even if there were 500,000 of us, it would still be only .0000625 per cent of humanity. Do not despair. We are the first wave and there will be many, many more to come. Stay with it and do not give up. Do not start questioning why you are doing something when it seems to you that nobody else you know is doing it. Be part of the future. I have now used my water bottle for almost two years, and it has become my new normal, and so easy. THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK. We will have other suggestions next time in WHAT CAN YOU DO TODAY TO HELP OUR WORLD?
