    I hate to say it, but I accepted a drink with a straw today AND drank coffee produced from pod.  I am at a conference and ask hotels to think about the balance of convenience and cost and impact. How can we improve our solutions?

    • I may be plastic, but I am dedicated to removing plastic from the oceans.  Even if it means moving myself.  But you know what happens if a mermaid must leave the sea.  It is sad.
