Living on the coast of Florida and still using single use plastic straws that fill landfills, pollute the ocean and endanger marine life, it is crucial that we take initiative in leading the way to change. In recent studies it is that that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Not to mention, micro plastics are toxic to the fish in which we humans consume. One of the top 10 items found in the ocean are plastic straws which can take hundreds of years to break down. I am so appreciative to go to Lynn University. A school in which is already very eco-friendly, and cares so deeply about the well being of its students, staff, and the environment. So many other school have banned single use plastic straws from their campus, and I want to be one of those school doing better and setting an example for the rest. Help me collect my goal of signatures in order to show my school we can do better, taking the step to reduce our impact on the environment by eliminating single-use plastic straws in the dinning hall and coffee shops.Thank you!
Even if you don’t go to Lynn University,
There is no excuse for single use: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse.

The administration at Lynn University is still hiding behind empty slogans while our campus dumpsters overflow with toxic plastic waste. I am currently putting together a formal demand for them to stop dragging their feet and finally cut these straws from our dining halls. We are not going away until they actually change their policies.

The administration at Lynn cannot keep ignoring us now that this momentum has become impossible to miss. They pretend to care about the environment while flooding our campus with trash so it is time they show us some real action.

honestly just get rid of them. nobody even needs a straw to drink coffee. it takes two seconds to switch to paper or just use a cup.
FL beaches are ruined by this stuff. so glad someone at lynn is finally pushing for this. stop the plastic use now!!
Single-use plastic straws SUCK! Used once and they last forever.. We can do without them, and the ocean can certainly do without them as well.
It’s absolute BS that we haven’t done this sooner. we live on this planet!! The ocean is just as much out home as the land. We have to start saving lives !
Nicole presented this petition to our class and advised us that our Social Impact lab vetted the petition. Go Lynn!
So proud of you Nicole! Keep it up
Save the sea turtles!

Big changes often start with small projects of significant impact. This could be the critical straw that began to crack the plastic pollution's back!
