    It gets me out into the community and doing things.

    Last night at a restaurant that claims to only give straws if asked, I asked the waiter for no straws so he took them back after depositing them uninvited onto our table. He brought me a refill later with a straw already inside, said "Oops, no straw," and grabbed the wet straw from my drink and put it into his apron! I guess he...

    Went to Great Wraps with Callie today, and look what they had - compostable straws! Way to be eco-friendly!

The worker said they hadn't picked up the building's recycling because it was done so incorrectly it wasn't worth picking up. What the employee learned is that...

    I would speak to them about how the accumulation of plastic products, which do not break down, have a massive footprint on the environment.  However I think instead of explaining, I would rather they look and see for themselves.  I've found that a simple ten minute visit to the beach usually results in picking up several pieces of plastic...
