Ban Plastic Straws
Unless you have a disability, people have no need to drink from plastic straws.
Plastic straws are really bad for the environment. Americans use over 500 million every day. Most of the straws end up in our oceans and kill animals.
Stop using plastic straws. "If we don’t act now, by the year 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish," says Strawless Ocean.
