Edgewood College is banning plastic straws and replacing them with compostable ones in the effort to become a straw free campus.
Experts say plastic can be a threat to the environment, and abandoning plastic straws is a start to reducing carbon footprint.
According to National Geographic, major corporations like Starbucks, Marriot Hotels, and American Airlines have publicly announced they would phase out plastic straws. So have many metropolitan areas like Miami Beach, New York City, Malibu, Oakland, and Seattle.
The campus has also introduced the eco-take out container that can be reused, washed, and exchanged for a new one at any time.
