When you go to a restaurant, request that a straw not be included in your drink.
If you are served a wrapped straw, give it back, and use it as an opportunity to discuss the topic with your waiter/waitress.
Carry your own non-plastic straw so that you have one if your beverage requires it. Plastic free straw options include wood, paper, glass, and stainless steel straws.
Spread the word to your friends and family and encourage them to go strawless.
