The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is promoting a “Skip the Straw” initiative, which challenges individuals, schools and businesses to help reduce pollution from plastic in Florida.

I am a teacher or school administrator, and I would like to make a classroom-wide or school-wide pledge to Skip the Straw for one week.

Other resources include a printable fact sheet about plastic pollution and Skip the Straw pledge cards for students to sign and take home or post in the classroom.
