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 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Wynona Henderson 10/27/2021 3:51 PMIt's going well! I was recently sick so I haven't been actively thinking about sustainability, however, I haven't been using straws, and I've been trying to cut back on screentime. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Less Screen TimeWhat did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?
Wynona Henderson 10/16/2021 12:36 PMIt is definitely hard when your education is online, as well as social media and hobbies. I noticed that the easiest way to get away from the screen is to go outside and go on a walk in the park. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Say No to Plastic StrawsWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Wynona Henderson 10/16/2021 12:34 PMI used to use a lot of plastic cups from Starbucks as well as straws. Recently, I decided it would be better for the environment to use my own cup and just make Iced Coffee at home. -
Wynona Henderson 10/15/2021 5:45 PMWow! Recently went riding on the Max and on Lime Scooters and it was amazing. I had literally so much fun and there was a very small carbon emission because of it. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Needs Vs. WantsHow is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?
Wynona Henderson 10/09/2021 1:13 PMIt makes you think outside the box and breakdown the reasons for why we want to do certain things and if we can find an easier solution -

Wynona Henderson 10/09/2021 1:11 PMMy favorite activity is biking around the park and feeling the cold air in nature. It's very relaxing!-
Kelly Schwenk 10/09/2021 9:36 PMI'm sooo glad that the cooler weather has arrived! I personally found it difficult to enjoy the outdoors this summer when it was blistering hot!
