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?
Luis Sabillon 2/18/2022 9:39 AMWith mason jars I use, they usually come with straws but when I decided to buy them, i bought them without the straw to help save both money and to prevent the usage of plastic staws. Instead I bought a straw that can be reused whenever and that I will use for eveything, instead of throwing away regular plastic straws.
