Moving Medford from Plastic to Paper

Our project for the 2019-2020 school year is about decreasing Medford’s ecological footprint. Many local cafes and restaurants use plastic straws and don’t realize what it is costing the environment. Our goal was to get Medford to start using paper straws (or at least move away from plastic straws) because paper straws do not have any negative effects on our town or on the Earth. We worked with the local government and local businesses to move towards a more sustainable future.
