Through researching the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, students learned that plastic straws are a major component of the pollution in our oceans and on our beaches. It was decided that we as a student body should act on this problem. Baseline data was gathered to find out how many straws our students used in a day. That information was extrapolated to what it would mean for a year. Students were invited to make posters to show just how many straws were being dumped into our environment just by our school. Students made a visual to hang in the cafeteria to serve as a reminder how big a pollution problem straws could be.  Our student Green Ambassadors wrote informative blurbs that went into our FRES newsletter to engage our community into The Last Straw campaign as well.
