A Sustainable Future

The Issue

Plastic straws are one of the larger problems in the world, it is estimated that millions of these straws are used everyday. Cutting back is a solid first step toward reducing single-use plastic waste. By signing this petition the possibility of the future instantly becomes more sustainable and you are the change!

Plastic straws can't easily be recycled they are most commonly made from type 5 plastic, or polypropylene. Some scientists estimate there are 7.5 million plastic straws polluting U.S. shorelines, and anywhere from 437 million to 8.3 billion plastic straws on shorelines around the world. And plastic straws are just a small percentage of the more than 8 million metric tons of plastic that end up in the ocean each year.

Its time to do your part and make a difference.
