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

Reflection QuestionSimplicity Have a Garage SaleBuilding community is good for your soul and fun to do! What were some of the positive outcomes that came out of your group garage sale?
Lauren Simpson 10/11/2018 5:30 AMSome positive out comes to a garage sale is that you can get rid of clutter you don't need and/or use. Garage sales usually have stuff pretty cheap so if someone didn't have a lot of money they could go to a garage sale to get some decor for their home. -
