What is 2018’s cause of the year? You guessed it…the ban on single-use straws. The American population goes through an estimated 500 million disposable straws every day without a thought about where they will end up. Our landfills are bursting at the seams with these disposable plastic straws. It’s time to join the movement and invest in your very own reusable straw.
Origins of the Straw Ban
Major companies are jumping on the “straw ban” bandwagon including Starbucks, American Airlines, and the Hyatt. These companies and others are all phasing out the use of disposable plastic straws.
Seattle was the 1st big city to ban disposable straws. As people are becoming more aware of the impact using disposable straws has on the environment, more and more cities, companies, and individuals are doing their part by owning their own personal, reusable straw.

The Turtle & The Straw
A few years back, Christine Figgener, a marine biologist, videotaped a sea turtle with a plastic straw embedded in its nose.
Although at the time she had no idea how this video would energize the environmental movement to reduce plastic straws in the oceans, she is happy to have been a catalyst for change. You can view the article at Time.com.
National Geographic put out an article this year that describes eight million tons of plastic ending up in the ocean every year. California was the 1st state to ban disposable plastic bags to help with the plastic problem. Several other countries have joined the cause including China, Kenya, France, and others. Rhode Island has banned releasing balloons during celebrations, and San Francisco has banned polystyrene. The movement is gaining momentum!
With all the recent press and information available to you regarding the damage caused by plastic, doesn’t it make sense that we each do our part in reducing the human footprint on the earth? One small step taken on the part of many can be the change that we need.
