hometown Burlington Vermont He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order It was a simple change However it would save money And by doing that the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent For the year that followed Cress tried to spread his project across the United States More and more restaurants agreed to join They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one Last April Seattle became the first American city to completely ban plastic straws After his project became popular Cress took his findings on the road He has
