This is your chance to join the movement for a strawless ocean! Starboard SUP would like YOU to join in the fight against single-use plastics by saying NO to straws with their #stopsucking campaign. Plastic straws are just one of many single-use plastics which end up in the ocean, polluting the water and harming sea life. The campaign will run for the next 3 weeks from today through to Friday 29th March. Each week Starboard will give away an eco-product hamper giveaway!
Starboard will be giving away 2 Starboard eco-product hampers every week for the next 3 weeks, included in the hamper will be a Starboard âDo You Still Suck?â t-shirt, a bamboo utensil set and bamboo straws for you & your friends! The prize draw will be for 2 winners each week via an Instagram Live draw at Taco Lake.
How to take part?
All you need to do is post a picture or video on Facebook/ Instagram of you with your strawless drink and share why we donât need plastic straws to support the campaign & create awareness. Don’t forget to #stopsucking and tag @starboardsup
