Week 15 Blog Post

This week we started working on our online charity project, which was encouraging users to use their codes on the bottle of their Hydroflask bottles to get donations for charities.  Honestly the main problem for me was how small scale the steps were.  I’m not much of one for online activism, and the idea of one of our main steps simply being to retweet a hashtag was strange to me.  It took some getting used to, to get rid of the sensation that I wasn’t just firing and forgetting a tweet.

Unfortunately, I was out on that Thursday so I wasn’t able to continue the project with the others, but I am placing an order for a hydroflask bottle myself and when I get it I’ll use the code and add a picture to a tweet with a hashtag to try to keep the movement going.  It still doesn’t feel like much to me, but evidently it is enough for this type of activism.
