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

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Healing and Renewal
    Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

    Start by saying "Thank you" and genuinely meaning it. I'll go back to the adage "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It does not cost anything to be nice and we as a society have demonstrated how one good deed turns into another. Just imagine even 1 day were people around the world were nice to each other! That would be a beautiful thing to see.

    The beauty of nature is a gift. Take the time to appreciate, and respect, what surrounds us each and every day. Enjoy the sunshine on your face and take the time to inhale the fragrance of blooming flowers. It is too easy to take this all for granted. We need to nurture the Earth and protect it as it has been caring for us. It's time to return the favor.
