I just received a notice from my recycling company stating that due to declining recyclable commodity pricing, paired with increasing processing costs, they can no longer sustainably provide curb side pickup. I try to minimize my carbon footprint as much as possible, and, living at the beach, I see what plastic can do to the wildlife and the environment. We all need to do our part, and giving up plastic straws is a good place to start. #BanPlasticStraws
