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

    I used to use plastic straws and plastic bags but I changed my ways. I use reusable grocery bags and paper/metal straws.

    In my house, we use LED light bulbs and aerators on my faucets. This impacts the environment by using less water and leaving it for the animals and plants.
