Plastic dominates our lifestyle, but it doesn't have to!
Check out this great infographic by volunteer Yeungs Ting which highlights 9 EASY ways you can reduce your plastic intake and stop it entering the ocean.

How many of the 9 do you already do?

Bringing the stainless steels straws back plus another product for your teeth

Made from bamboo, pig hair and yogurt pots: can eco-toothbrushes take off? There are greener alternatives to the billions of plastic toothbrushes discarded annually – but consumers may not be ready to bite

Here are 9 reasons to refuse single-use plastic:

http://bit.ly/2hzliD9

With all our amazing technology, why do single-use plastics still exist? It seems ludicrous that we haven't developed an alternative for this harmful and persistent material that permeates our lives and planet.

Reasons why you should stop using straws:

1. Drinks taste infinitely better without them. Drinks are made to be tasted directly from the cup/glass thus straws are absolutely useless.
2. They aren't as sanitary as you believe them to be. Your glass could actually be cleaner than your straws because they are actually being "cleansed" unlike straws which were stacked in an unsanitized container.
3. They ruin your teeth. Studies have shown that a lot of people straws have bad habits of biting it.

And if that's not enough,
4. They kill thousands of animals worldwide.

So let's make a stand.
Last year, we conducted an environmental seminar: FOREVER (For Revitalizing Environment). As part of sustaining the event's objective, the Lualhati League of Scholars supports this movement.

With brief exceptions of drinks that require straws such as Frappes and Shakes, let us refuse the use of straws in our beverages.

Can you, Eastkolars? ❤
