Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 1: My SMART Goal

My SMART lifestyle change for the next 10 weeks, is to use reusable water bottles and stop using plastic water bottles. To start out I am going to finish up the 12 plastic water bottles I currently have and not purchase anymore.

What does this look like to you?

My lifestyle change is eco-chic because I will be drinking water out of the facet and not spending money on water bottles that just end up in landfills. This change is also eco-chic because I will be saving on resources and not damaging the earth as much.

Can you tell now?

I chose this behavior because I drink a lot of water, not only is it unsafe for me to continue to refill plastic water bottles it is a waist of resources and money. I feel strongly about changing because this is a bad habit I have always wanted to change but never really took action, until now. I don't even want to add up how much I have spent on water bottles and how many have gone into landfills, it's very depressing how many I have used over the years.

Is this what you expected that sea looking picture  to be?

Today is the beginning of a new day for me! I am going to start today by using my reusable water bottle and slowly get rid of the 12 plastic water bottles I currently have. To do this I am going to drink out of one plastic water bottle per day and when that is gone switch to my reusable water bottle. Another approach I am going to take is when a person staying at my apartment asks for a plastic water bottle I am going to encourage them once they are finished it to get a reusable water bottle and use it. I hope to make this a great change in my life over the next 10 weeks, so much so that I am able to continue using reusable water bottles.
