It doesn't surprise me because I know when i don't plan ahead, I contribute to that fact of creating waste. I'd rather use my money on food that I will consume.

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