Unfortunately I find that the waiters I get forget roughly 25% of the time and put the straw in anyway. I understand that it's habitual for them to do so, and they're not purposefully sabotaging my efforts. It's still frustrating thought.<br />#WasteLessWednesdayMeganhttp://www.realgreenliving.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-86638307017603537782017-01-06T18:06:08.989-06:002017-01-06T18:06:08.989-06:00Well it's not an official holiday, more just a...Well it's not an official holiday, more just an homage...or maybe just a silly thing we do!

We don't have days like that in Australia so I'm always hugely amused, and often a little confused, when hearing about them lol.<br />I refuse plastic straws too and either go without or use a metal straw. I keep one wrapped in a cotton napkin in the bottom of my handbag for when I'm out now :)<br />Thanks for sharing this post on the Homesteader HopKirstee@ThisWholeHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646662285679282447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-19812621880900789132017-01-03T18:00:02.001-06:002017-01-03T18:00:02.001-06:00It's easy to do, but also easy for me to forge...It's easy to do, but also easy for me to forget.

It's such an easy thing to do. I think most folks are just in the habit of using them, but they are really unnecessary. I love when I see people bringing their own cups into a coffee shop to fill up.
