Say No to Plastic Straws
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Jacob Hansen 11/13/2024 5:42 PMGood. I am keeping my shower time under 5 minutes, which is a big change since I enjoy taking long showers. I feel like I have more time in the morning, and it has not had any real downsides, so I think this is a good change. I also set the thermostat lower, and can barely tell the difference, so that was a good and easy change. I think these changes are easy to do and can add up in the long run.
