This is all about doing less… less consumption, less waste, less straws, it’s a win, win! By spreading the word every time you ask for “no straw” wherever straws are served, and by requesting that restaurants & bars only serve straws upon request, you will help save the planet from single use plastic pollution one straw at a time. Little things do matter. Tell us about your “Last Plastic Straw Moment”…hopefully it’s today!

How to Deal with Judgmental Friends and Family? Great article on website about Zero Waste:

This is a quote from an article I read about banning plastic straws:
Yes, every little bit counts when it comes to pollution. But big bits count much, much more than little bits. And anyone truly worried about the proliferation of floating plastic garbage in the world’s oceans should go after the Asian fishing industry for its discarded nets first, before trying to shut down their local blender drinks industry.
Just one of the arguments against the plastic straw movement. Here is the article. Would love to hear thoughts on it.

Looking for a restaurant in Boston? Why not support one that joined the movement to skip the straw? Kudos to Eastern Standard Kitchen and Drinks in Kenmore Square for doing this and for this nice article that describes why they joined and what they are doing as alternatives.
