The City of Spartanburg, in South Carolina, is participating in Plastic Free July. The initiative aims to reduce the use of single-use plastics throughout the month. One suggestion given is to skip using plastic straws. Studies show that over 500 million plastic straws are thrown away in the U.S. every day. By refusing to use plastic straws, individuals can make a significant impact in reducing non-recyclable waste. Reusable straw options are available for those who still prefer to use a straw when dining out. The campaign aims to promote a more sustainable Spartanburg by reducing plastic waste and preserving landfill space, as well as keeping the community's lakes, rivers, and oceans cleaner. #PlasticFreeJuly #SkipTheStraw #SingleUsePlastic #SustainableSpartanburg
