Things have been going very well at SE Powell location. When I check in with employees, they are happy to be participating. I have no doubt that we will meet our goal of lowering straw waste by 25%. We have even offered employees reusable straws to use as they wish. I have been keeping mine in my bag and using it when I go out!

here is a cool article about Straw waste. In the article it suggests to ask guests if they would like a straw, instead of automatically giving them one. This could be helpful with lowering straw usage for children and could also help save kids lids as well!!
