Want to do more to reduce your plastic consumption? We will be posting tips to reduce your plastic use.
For many of us it may seem like "I am just one person, how will this help?" or "I feel too overwhelmed by all the plastic in the world". However if each of us just employed a few (or all) of these items into our daily lives, we can drastically reduce amount of plastic that ends up in landfills and our oceans.

Just don't use one:
When ordering a drink, just say "no straw please" - it is just that easy.

Still want to use straws? No problem, reusable metal straws are now widely available online and in stores. Keep a couple in your purse or pocket. Many even come with a small brush for cleaning (running hot soapy water and rinsing should work just fine too).
