We challenge you to say no to straws for 24 hours, then tag three friends to do the same.
Every day, billions of straws are used once and thrown away. That’s enough to fill 1000 school buses with plastic every 24 hours. To raise awareness for this issue and reduce unnecessary plastic waste, I challenge you to say no to straws today. Don’t feel any pressure to commit to a permanent change, just try for one day. Even this small choice could save millions of pieces of plastic from going into landfills, lakes and oceans.
