To avoid accumulating more unnecessary things in the future, I intend to only buy what I need, or buy products that are long-lasting to reduce multiple purchases.

Water
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 6 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Say No to Plastic StrawsWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Francisco Cornejo-Garcia 3/15/2021 11:23 PMOf the few single-use items I regularly use, it would have to be vegetable bags that are very thin and usually provided in grocery stores. I might go for a thin cloth bag that can hold vegetables well. -
