Water

Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Wasn't able to fully see the sunrise or sunset due to the rain. Still made me appreciate the rain that came through.

Reflection Question
Water Say No to Plastic Straws

What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

Rubi Jaimes 10/12/2018 3:34 PM

My family doesn't use straws very often, we mainly use it when we go out to eat. However, I have been meaning to cut them out as best as I can especially since at my work place we advocate not to use them. Recently, I just purchased my first set of reusable straws. I used them at a restaurant where I informed my boyfriend, his cousin, and his date about the challenge and how by reusing a straw i can cut back on the plastic one use ones.

Reflection Question
Food Buy From a Farmers Market

What is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?

Rubi Jaimes 10/10/2018 5:47 AM

Looking into buying sustainable foods/drinks when I go shopping. One of the things I already participate in is by looking at the labels on my products. I now am more often to choose foods that are organic, non-gmo's, and certified products on sustainable fishing.
