Skip the Straw

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

    Waste
    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

     I could reduce my electricity usage by unplugging my electronics during the day and reduce my water consumption by doing less laundry, I could reuse the cups from the tea places on campus around my dorm when people come over, I could refuse plastic bags at the store and carry my stuff when I have forgotten my reusable bags, I could repair broken objects around my dorm with duck tape so they don't end up in the land fill, and if they are not repairable I will use them for something else, I will also repurpose by using thrift store clothes to make my Halloween costume instead of buying a new one.
