Hello, one method I use to help reduce plastic is replacing plastic straws with metal wherever I go. This is helpful when getting a drink at fast food places or restaurants or even at home. I know that my simple change won't completely reduce all straws that are included in trash pollution, but every change matters.
I love the straw kit I bought. I love using metal straws way more then paper or plastic straws. Usually the plastic straws get sticky or the paper straws melt.
