Let’s make a positive impact on Skip the Straw Day, February 28!
Supporting your favorite local restaurant or café by ordering takeout? Whether calling in or ordering online, take a moment to let staff know that you won’t be needing disposable straws and cutlery. It’s small steps like this that allow us to reduce waste, prevent litter, and protect wildlife in big ways.
At International Coastal Cleanups, volunteers have picked up more than half a million straws and stirrers, making straws one of the top ten items on their annual list. Straws pose a real danger to animals like sea turtles, albatross and fish who can eat them.
PLEDGE TO SKIP THE STRAW
Add your voice to the sea of people taking a stand for the ocean. Sign the pledge now and when offered a straw, simply say 'no thanks'. It is a small step that goes a long way for ocean health.
