Last night while we were out for pizza my sisters ordered pink lemonade and...
THEY GAVE US STRAWS!!!
We totally forgot to ask for them without straws and we kinda freaked out when they arrived. It was pretty funny because our friends had no idea what was going on and the waitress seemed a bit spooked out by our reaction. :)
As funny as it was, it proved that a lot of people just don't understand the concept of single use plastic and the ways it is impacting our world. It shows that people need to be educated about how these single use plastics are destroying our world and what they can do to protect our earth. I want to give a huge shout out of encouragement to my 2 younger sisters who, at such a young age, have already gained a very solid understanding of the issues involved with single use plastics and are already making huge efforts to help preserve our world.
We were lucky that this incident happened the day after no straws week finished but that doesn't mean that it wasn't a big deal. It is still going to impact our world regardless of the week or month and we know that it will always be big deal.
