The Pledge

Take The Strawless Ocean Pledge

A simple commitment with global impact: refuse single-use plastic straws and ask for marine-friendly alternatives.

By taking the Strawless Ocean pledge, you commit to refusing single-use plastic straws and asking for marine-friendly alternatives wherever possible. The pledge is the first step in joining the global #StopSucking movement.

The Pledge

"I commit to refusing single-use plastic straws. When I need a straw, I'll choose a marine-friendly alternative — paper, hay, glass, steel, silicone, or bamboo. I recognize that some of my fellow citizens require a flexible plastic straw to drink safely, and I support keeping these alternatives available for those who need them. I'll share this commitment with my friends, my favorite restaurants, and my community to help spark systemic change. For A Strawless Ocean."

We are committed to working with our allies in the disability community, politics, and business to ensure that legislation is inclusive, to identify plastic straw alternatives that work for everyone, and to make these alternatives readily available at any establishment, city, or country that has banned the single-use plastic straw.
