Can You Just Say ‘No’ To Straws?
It's a trend that has become commonplace at restaurants and resorts near the ocean and has now reached close to home. Getting rid of straws is a thing. I've stopped using straws and ask that my drinks be served without.
The Last Straw Movement is becoming more and more popular because it has to. We have plastic trash floating in our oceans around the globe and something needs to change. Aquatic life are dying because the accidentally eat trash.
Did you know if you gave up the straws you can actually make an impact? The movement has reached the Illinois Quad Cities.
How do you feel about not getting a straw with your drink at a restaurant or bar?
