DAILY ACTIONS
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
So I know I haven't really been posting, but figured I'd share what i did to help cut back on straws. For someone who drinks a lot of iced coffee I like to always have a reusable straw with me. And for someone who is fairly forgetful I like to have multiple options. I've taken to carrying a bag with a few different straw options, you can even include a straw scrubby brush in there and I can keep that in my work bag, purse, diaper bag, whatever I have with me that day. And I keep my portable, foldable straw in my car. I have a Finalstraw, which is a great brand that comes with a scrubby and a drying rack inside the portable container. But you can get cheaper options that still work pretty well and are similar in design.
