National Skip the Straw Day was started by teen activists in Whitehall, MI in 2017. Skip the Straw Day is the fourth Friday of February each year. This year, February 24th, HYAC Environmental Committee is teaming up with restaurants in downtown Holland, MI. Restaurants will not automatically serve straws unless the customer asks for one. They will post flyers and wait staff will wear buttons advertising skipping the straw. Maybe for one day, we can all ask ourselves, do I really need a straw?
