    Brought in 6 coffee cups I don't use and placed by our coffee area for co-workers to use instead of cups.

    Eat out 90% of time and each time, I mention to waitress need for Restaurant to go plastic straw-free.  So far, one of my faves 'asks' patrons if they would like a straw instead of just including straws commensurate with number of glasses (including water).

    Amazing how starting off with something as common and as small as a straw can greatly impact our Eco system over time.
