Abstract
In a bid to decrease non-disposable water bottle usage in the Grand Valley community, Professor Jamie Langlois and her Graduate Assistant Sandra Meyers passed out free water bottles to university members willing to sign a pledge to stop buying bottled water. Our role in the project was to help refine, implement and analyze an online follow-up survey with the help of the Statistical Consulting Center. Further, we analyzed the data to determine the extent of the behavioral changes. The goal of this project is to decrease the use of non-disposable water bottles through the distribution of reusable bottles in the Grand Valley community.
