Water

Say No to Plastic Straws

Do at Home

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.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Water 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?

Charlotte E 10/12/2020 9:20 AM

I don't use a lot of one time use items. I use reusable straws, reusable cups, water bottles, and reusable bags when I go to the grocery store. If everyone did that then there ound be a lot less waste.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Work From Home

Charlotte E 10/12/2020 9:16 AM

Covid has hit so we use zoom.
