In this video, I detail how my sustainability action, although simple, has allowed me to limit my consumption of single-use plastic. I swap out any plastic straw that I would use daily for a metal straw out of my collection or opt for a compostable alternative if available. Nearly 7.5 million plastic straws were found on U.S. shorelines, and pose a huge risk to the wildlife and ecosystems that surround the areas. In addition, plastic straws do not decompose and eventually turn into microplastics that also have adverse effects on the environment.
