Americans use 500 million plastic straws per day,
which is enough to circle the world 2 1/2 times.
Watch "Do you really need a straw?" and take action!
Way too many plastic straws end up as litter in our oceans, threatening marine wildlife, degrading into tiny toxic microplastics, and then returning to us via our seafood and table salt. YUK!
Students from Cafeteria Culture's school programs have been conducting street and beach litter surveys for the past 3 years. They find straw litter all over NYC - straws that easily wash from storm drains directly into our waterways on rainy days.
