10 ways to say no to plastic
Decline straws at restaurants
The no-plastic-straws movements is gaining steam, with more and more restaurants moving away from them. However, the vast majority of eating spots still offer straws automatically. If you don’t need one to drink, tell the restaurant server, bartender or checkout person that you’d like to go without. If you’re given a straw anyway, and it’s wrapped in paper or plastic, bring it back up to the bar or counter.
