So I have stopped using plastic straws and um..forced my boyfriend to stop using straws also. In the past couple of weeks, anytime we go out (which we will be stopping once we move into our place where we can make our own food and wont need to go out), we always get straws. I have refused for people to give me straws but in the end of a little more than a week, I have collected over like 5 straws each. It is ridiculous and obviously I have noticed exactly WHY straws are one of the top biggest things that are polluting our ocean. Straws need to be banned everywhere like plastic bags are banned in California, etc. 

So this is my first day starting with H.E.A.T. I am very excited to share my story of recycling and what I am doing everyday to help the Earth. Seems to me that my consistency of recycling has been rubbing off on my boyfriend so that's one good step for the planet lol although the nagging helps a lot. I have been doing a lot to help the planet but there is SO MUCH MORE we can each do individually and even little things help if everyone works together! Go about your day but consider what you can do to help Mother Earth in everything you do <3
