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

REFLECTION QUESTION

  I use the power of the sun to charge my solar-powered flashlights and to dry my clothing when it’s warm enough out! Did you know it costs up to $2 per load in the dryer?
