Blake's actions

Oceans

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.

I walked 15 miles a week and try to ride my bike to work when it isn't rainy or cold. Also, being in lockdown allowed me to get back into fishing and hiking which is something I do in my free time.
