Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

    It feels great! I've become a convert to the reusable coffee travel mug for all of my caffeine usage.

    The great outdoors is the gateway to a broader sense of place in the world. Mother nature has a way of humbling us and inspiring us, and by spending more time out in the splendor of nature, we become even more aware of our small part in this interconnected earth. It amplifies our awareness of what's possible when we think globally but act locally.
