    I have noticed a shift in some parts of the community on using plastic straws, but unfortunately it seems like most restaurants will still hand you a straw even if you don't ask for one.

    With the added mindfulness of reducing your packaging, what have you noticed about the amount and type of single use plastics used for packaging when you shop in the grocery store?
