  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    On-the-go
    Can you think of any scenarios where using your own bottle is harder? How can you make sure not to get a disposable bottle in that case?

    Was traveling. Used a glass in hotel room. Will try to remember to bring an empty water bottle next time.

    Purchased brand-new shoes off FB Marketplace for my husband. Purchased for less and they were not returnable for the person selling them.
