Starting on Earth Day, Prairie Grass Cafe is Partnering with the Shedd Aquarium to #SheddTheStraw

NORTHBROOK, Ill. - April 20, 2017 - PRLog -- Prairie Grass Cafe (601 Skokie Blvd, Northbrook, IL 60062; 847-205-4433) is going straw-less for a good cause. Americans use approximately 500 million plastic straws every day and since these single-use plastics never disappear, they end up harming animals who call the seas and lakes home.

To help protect these animals, Prairie Grass Cafe is teaming up with the Shedd Aquarium and saying no to single-use plastic straws and switching to biodegradable alternatives. Beginning on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22, Prairie Grass Cafe will no longer offer straws to customers unless the customer requests a straw—straws will be paper and/or biodegradable.

#SheddTheStraw is a movement honoring Earth Day by celebrating and protecting the aquatic world.
