Freshwater + Oceans

Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have 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.

    Sometimes I'm out hiking, and I come across mylar ballons that have flown out into the mountains. I pick them up and dispose of them correctly. They are just some of the things I find when out hiking. I try to pack any trash I find out in nature.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Freshwater + Oceans Say No to Plastic Straws
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    When I order take out and I pick it up I ask to not include plastic utensils.
