Did you know that over 550,000,000 straws are used on a daily basis in just the U.S. and the U.K.? Those straws aren't even getting recycled; they just end up in dumps or as trash in our oceans. You can do something to help! The next time you're getting a beverage in a restaurant or at a convenience store, say no to the straw. There's no real reason to have it and if refusing it helps make the earth and our oceans and little cleaner, isn't it worth it?
