New Year, No Disposable Straws

A new year means opportunities for developing new habits. Start your year strong by not only drinking lots of water to keep yourself hydrated during these colder periods but also reducing disposable straw waste. I know it’s tempting to use a straw for every sip we intake, but it can be a giant obstacle for our aquatic friends. Now I recognize that there are some who face disabilities that require the use of straws (and how do you ingest drinks like milkshakes without them) so here’s some alternatives. There are options for reusable straws (steel straws are my favorite) that even come with cleaners for keeping your drinkware squeaky clean so you can sip your beverage without adding waste into the water system. You can also be like Elsa and “Let it Go” by not using straws. Nothing says “I’m a hero” more than protecting baby turtles. To my fellow Codegreeners, let’s make this new decade a green one.

Keeping the Holidays Green

December is always a special time of year because no matter what event you celebrate there is always something to be joyful about. Which is why everyone should be mindful of all the wrapping that gets thrown away. Contrary to belief, boxes can always be reused, gifts don’t always have to come in piles of paper, and not even a million bows can make a fruit cake look like a chocolate mousse cake. Let’s be aware this holiday season of the joy we can bring without deploying too much waste. To my Codegreeners, have a holly and jolly holiday season
