    I was not aware that we had to have photo evidence but I am not able to provide a photo because the leaky faucet I fixed is at my apartment back in Knoxville but I can assure you that it was leaking for the entire first semester and then when I saw this challenge as one of the options the first thing I did was call up our apartment complex's handyman named Donny, to come and take a look and he was able to fix it immediately which is a simple fix that i'm sure saved a lot of wasted water

    I usually would bring a new water bottle everyday with me to class but instead I have started to refill a refillable water bottle and bring it to class.
