Stop the Straws!

The Problem

I hope restaurants and other food selling businesses stop giving out plastic straws and starts using compostable ones. I also hope people realize how straws and other single use plastics harm the environment.

Our Plan

We will inform as many people as we can about the harmfulness of straws. We will get in touch with local businesses and try our hardest to convince them to use compostable or reusable straws.
