If you’re a consumer:
Each one of us can help reduce the use of disposable plastic straws in our communities in the following ways:

Say ‘NO THANK YOU’ to straws, BEFORE you order your drink.
Despite the harm that plastic straws can cause to our environment, many restaurants will still
automatically bring in drinks with a straw inside. When you order a drink, be sure to tell the server
“I will not be needing a straw, thank you.” You’ll be proud of yourself for skipping a straw!
Be a #SkipTheStraw detective!
Download and print out copies of our #SkipTheStraw invitation and carry them with you. Whenever
you’re in an establishment that serves their drinks with straws, be sure to provide them with one
invitation – you’ll be helping us to grow awareness to this great cause! (Wouldn’t it be nice to not
have a single plastic straw handed out, anywhere??)
Share your stories with us!
Whenever you’ve handed a #SkipTheStraw Invitation, or if you know of an establishment in Halton
Region who could use a little nudge, please let us know because the more establishments we contact,
the more we all benefit.
