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.

    Being trapped at home and in quarantine makes some of these really easy and others a big challenge. Needless to say I don't go anywhere or shop at all. Although my recent grocery delivery was reusable bags! Also, saving cups and straws is super easy with almost all of my beverages coming from home.
