    2 actions I chose were to use a reusable water bottle and also to skip the straw. I think that it is so important to reduce our use of plastic and a great and easy way to do this is to just use a reusable water bottle. Such a simple task can make such a great impact. I also think a simple but great way to reduce waste is to skip the straw when ordering drinks out. Starbucks just started incorporating lids that don't require straws which is a great way to reduce plastic consumption. Whenever I go to Starbucks, I make sure to ask for no straw.
