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.

So far, my Eco-Challenge has been going pretty good. It feels nice to think that I might be making a difference, even if it's small. My families electric bill has been going down, so it's also benefiting me personally. My house feels cleaner, because I de-cluttered a couple rooms and I wake up feeling a little happier. So, I think that the eco-challenge is improving my life and hopefully others too.
