CoStraws

Climate change is real. There are 10 million plastic straws in the ocean, which is affecting marine life. The hospitality sector has been using plastics abundantly. We, the young changemakers of tomorrow, have to create an awareness to the hospitality sector about the use of ecological products.

The goals of the project are:

1. Eliminate at least a 100K of plastic/paper straws from restaurants in Marseille (/year)

2. Upskill at least 50 restaurants:
