Let’s make it a habit to say, “No thank you,” to plastic straws. ?
Plastic straws aren’t recyclable in our area. They’re too small and flexible, slipping through the sorting lines at recycling facilities. If you do use a straw, please dispose of it securely in a trash bin to prevent littering our beautiful desert and mountains.
Love using straws? Try a reusable metal straw instead! They’re a fantastic, eco-friendly alternative and easy to carry with you wherever you go. ??
