Flaws of Single-Use Straws:

You spend minutes sipping through a straw but it can end up spending decades in the ocean because its plastic, and doesn't biodegrade.

Find out how we as straw sippers can prevent straw pollution.

Coastal Cleanup Day:

Join over 4,000 volunteers at over 30 cleanup locations throughout San Mateo County on Saturday, September 15th from 9am to noon.

Every volunteer will receive a stainless steel straw and cotton canvas backpack as a thank you for participating (while supplies last).
