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.

People Keep My Community Clean

Cigarette butts, plastic bags, and cups have been the majority of the items I have picked up. These are items are used everyday, so this tells me the community needs to do more to prevent such items being so easily accessible and also being aware of where these items go once their 1 time use is over.
