Linden's actions

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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Participant Feed

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

  • 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?

    Straws, Cups and plastic bags. for a straw i will be getting a "metal" one. I will start using the hydro flask that i already have rather then disposable cups. and for plastic  bags, I already use a hand basket that you find at grocery stores.

    I forgot how to sign into this. Now that I am back and since I have signed up I have been working hard on meeting my goals (thought it would be more easy then I am finding out due to health and distractions) getting out side each day and learning how to meditate has been a positive difference in my life and something I will strive to continue each day of my life. Good luck to each of you and have fun!
