Skip The Straw | Ridley the Seal

MISSION

I'm Ridley the Seal.

My mission is to rid single use plastic straws,

one town at a time,

with the help of all #waterwarriors.

DID YOU KNOW...

Plastic straws are not recyclable or biodegradable.

Americans use 500 million single use plastic straws a day.

It takes 200 years to break down into toxic particles

which are ingested by sea animals and the fish we eat.

SHOP WITH A PURPOSE

These awesome reusable straw shops

support Ridley the Seal's mission

ABOUT US

We are a southern California family who lives in a small coastal town.

We were using an enormous amount ofplastic straws daily

because we thought they were recyclable.

When we were educated about the devastating impact plastic straws

have on our environment, we set out to change our habits.

And it was so easy.

We created the Ridley the Seal character

to draw attention to this cause.

Ridley was lovingly named after the famous olive ridley sea turtle

that had a plastic straw painfully removed from its nostril.

Our campaign was awarded the 2017 Giving Tuesday prize

by the Pacific Marine Mammal Center.

Rarely can children participate in a project and see immediate results.

This is one of those unique opportunities that is tangible for kids,

our #waterwarriors, and has a positive impact.
