Newport Aquarium: November is the last straw

The Newport Aquarium joined 21 other aquariums across the United States in a national push to reduce plastic pollution by cutting out single-use straws. The goal of the No Straw November movement is to encourage individuals, businesses and cities around the country to cut back on plastic waste by Earth Day 2019. The campaign kicks off by asking people who don't need them to refuse plastic straws for 30 days.
