![]() Disposable straws are usually made from plastic and plastic never breaks down.Straws were ranked the seventh most common piece of trash collected in 2017 on global beaches by volunteer cleanup crews associated with the Ocean Conservancy, a marine environmental advocacy group. ![]() Roughly 500 million disposable straws are used by Americans daily (some argue this is actually a LOW estimate!).While we can't solve all the world's problems by simply curbing our plastic use, we can make a significant impact as a city by creating a culture in our full-service restaurants where we get "Straws Upon Request." We would like Red Lobster to adopt an opt-in straw policy where they do not put straws in drinks or on the table without a customer request.īy 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans.
