It's AlohaFriday in our paradise of Lebanon!! This weekend of booze(less)... (Fanar, Mont-Liban, Lebanon)
It's #AlohaFriday in our paradise of Lebanon!! This weekend of booze(less) filled entertainment take a conscious decision to curb your #singleuseplastic consumption starting with #straws, #plasticbags and take out containers; why not - our streets, seas, shorelines, sea turtles and birds will thank you with glee ;) without a straw, your drink will even taste better since you are closer to the smell and experience of it. Unless you need one of course, just be sure to recycle it after.
#balashalimon! The industry is catering to our habits. Make it a part of your order to tell the staff that you don't want a straw as they will put it in your drink automatically and it doesn't help so much after the fact. Open conversations with your friends and we'll keep working behind the scenes to help encourage our service industry to serve straws upon request, use more sustainable material and push for #sort2recycle facilities and awareness.
The waste issue has many layers and facets to solve, but it doesn't mean we should be discouraged to wait for the perfect time or solution when a chunk of it has to do with our consumption habits. Bit by bit and step by step we are using clean ups to raise awareness on our consumption habits and waste disposal responsibilities and we are beaming in excitement to have educated the Fanar Scouts on single use habits and recycled the waste we collected. The Fanar Municipality clean up helped reduce a truckload of waste that would have reached the sea and (if lucky back to our) shorelines 🌺
