Education and Outreach
StrawFree.org is committed to education and outreach about the impacts of single-use plastic straws. We set up educational booths and classes at colleges, festivals, K-12 schools, and beach cleanups to encourage individuals and businesses to go straw-free. We host volunteer parties where participants can make re-usable bamboo straws to give away at future events. We also sell these re-usable bamboo straws with 100% of the proceeds going towards educational efforts.
We partner with schools, organizations, and restaurants in Orange County, California to host educational events about the impacts of straws. Contact us if you would like to partner with us on an event.
