2018 Strawless Summer in Charleston! (A List of Participating Restaurants)

    3

    Charleston is participating in Strawless Summer, where local restaurants are ditching the plastic straw and opting for more sustainable choices. It is very difficult to recycle plastic straws due to their light weight. Therefore, they end up in the landfill forever, or even worse, in our water ways. To help cut down on this waste, and protect our wildlife, several Charleston restaurants have committed to stop serving plastic straws.

    Amy grew up in Kansas City, Kansas and graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Environmental Studies. Her dream was to make the world a better place by improving the environment for everyone. After getting her dream job in Texas, she met the love her of her life, Evan; they had a beautiful daughter in 2012 and moved to Mount Pleasant in 2013. Amy intended on continuing to work in the field of Sustainability (all things green and ecofriendly) but ended up being a SAHM. Although she found it a blessing to be able to stay home full time with her daughter, she struggled to find herself in her new identity. In 2014, her family expanded with a son and with his birth she began to be more confident as both a woman and a mother, and lover of the Lowcountry. She turned her love of family and the environment into a business (www.de-cluttered.com) that allows her to keep her family first while helping others. Through de-cluttered, Amy helps families deep clean their homes, taking the weight of clutter off of their shoulders and donating those extra items to local charities throughout Charleston. Amy also loves being at the beach, having an adventure, connecting with new people and is always looking to learn something new.

    1. Another example of a “cause” gone crazy. I recently needed 4 straws to finish a small drink. If restaurants are going to join this craziness, they need to provide a much better ( not cheaper for them) alternative. However, aren’t there much bigger things in this country to be concerned about?

    2. Gotta love the paper straws that disintegrate in my children’s drinks and look like wet limp noodles after two minutes. Until there is a better remedy for pete’s sake let us have the damn plastic straws.
