Say No to Plastic Straws
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?
Cassidy Mattox 7/08/2022 3:44 PMMy car is full of reusable bags and I'm always forgetting them. My partner and I are trying to make bringing our own bags part of the routine of going to the store. Our goal is to get reusable vegetable/meat bags to keep inside the other ones and eliminate our use of those disposable plastics as well.
