Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 1: My SMART Goal

• My goal: I will drink 12 ounces of water everyday from the facet or a drinking fountain only.

• This goal is friendly for the environment because water is not only good for you and natural but by me only drinking from the facet and from drinking fountains will eliminate the use of plastic bottles and other products that harm the environment. 

• This behavior is important to me because I need to start drinking more water, I do not drink enough and this is something that I really want to work on and improve to benefit my overall health and well being. 

• I will start today by drinking an 8 oz. glass of water before I leave my apartment and drink water the rest of the day from drinking fountains around campus!
