Have you heard of the phrase “Ditch the Straw”? Straws are among the most common plastic items volunteers clean from beaches, along with bottles, bags and cups. Americans use half a billion straws every day! That many straws could wrap around the Earth 2½ times! Join the Ecology Club in a global movement to eliminate plastic drinking straws from our landfills, our streams, our oceans, and our beaches. Purchase a stainless steel reusable straw for only $3 and cleaning brushes for $2. They are fun, fashionable, and help the environment. You can purchase straws from Mrs. Connell or Mr. Semcheski before and after school. If you have questions ask any Ecology Club Members.
