Jawnie Payne 7/22/2019 2:26 PMI was finally able to check off “Dam the Flow” challenge! I bought an off brand Diva Cup when I bought those toothpaste tablets. Today was when I finally had to use them. And so far, it’s great! It’s definitely weird due to it just being something different, but it’s working:) we’ll see how I feel about it at work and wearing khakis!
This is not only an awesome win for the environment, drastically reducing waste, but oh the money I will save!! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Share My ActionsIn what ways is social media an effective tool for sharing your values?
Jawnie Payne 7/17/2019 8:13 PMIt’s effective, because in most cases, it’s the easiest way to reach out to more people at once. People that you ordinarily wouldn’t be able to just have a conversation with. By sharing actions, especially good ones can inspire people to make better choices. -

Jawnie Payne 7/17/2019 8:04 PMI used the toothpaste tablets tonight! It works but it’s weird! It has stevia in it so its a bit sweet and it’s like eating a mint candy. You have to work to not swallow it before you get the toothbrush in your mouth lol I’ll try to add a picture. I already had my bamboo toothbrush, this is actually my second one!-

Jawnie Payne 7/12/2019 5:53 PMI have multiple metal straws that I keep with me. Some live in my car and I have 1 or 2 that live at work, so that for the most part, of I would like a straw, I can always grab my own and use it! My favorite straws that I have are from Sand Cloud! If anyone reads this, and you’d like some, y’all can use my code for a discount 😁 JawniePa15. It gets you 15% off!
Sand Cloud also donates part of their profits to different Marine Mammal Conservation projects! They also do their own beach cleanups has what not. -
Jawnie Payne 7/08/2019 7:37 AMI feel like sharing our actions is one of the easiest things we can do! Especially with the use of social media. I should post more to Facebook but I do post almost daily on my Instagram about this challenge and reducing our impact on the environment.
