Skip the Straw pledge

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection encourages residents and visitors to help protect Florida’s unique environment, coastal areas and springs by reducing plastic use. The “Skip the Straw” initiative challenges individuals, schools and businesses to help reduce single-use pollution from plastic straws in Florida.

Plastic straws are one of the many single-use plastics that litter beaches, pollute oceans and harm wildlife. To preserve natural resources and keep Florida’s environment free of pollutants, DEP asks residents to minimize waste and recycle within their communities. Take the pledge and Skip the Straw for at least one week to help keep Florida's marine wildlife safe and our beaches, oceans and waterways clean.
