 Did you know that in the U.S. alone, nearly 500 MILLION straws are used and discarded EVERY DAY! Straws are typically made from plastic (a fossil fuel product) and will not biodegrade in the environment, meaning straws are here forever. Go Eclectic World has created a new initiative to lessen the unnecessary straw waste by encouraging consumers to refuse to use a straw and for businesses/restaurants to only offer a straw if asked. By doing so, we can help lessen the amount of plastic trash entering our natural environment and affecting those creatures who cannot avoid it. Please take a moment to watch this video about a sea turtle's plight with a straw and then Pledge to Free Your Lips and go Straw-Less. (***warning: video is graphic to some***)
