Americans use 500 million plastic straws every day. Many of those plastic straws end up in our oceans, polluting the water and harming sea life. If we don’t act now, by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. This September, Seattle is going strawless and all of us at Tom Douglas Seattle Kitchen have decided to #StopSucking on single-use plastic straws indefinitely. We’ve joined Lonely Whale Foundation’s Strawless Ocean program by offering a marine-friendly compostable straw by request only. We are super passionate about the health of our ocean and protecting the health of our fish and fishermen. Seeing the mountains of plastic accumulate in the ocean has really forced us to realize that somehow it’s got to stop now, so why not with us? To learn more, please visit Strawless In Seattle. |
