“I will stop sucking,” Russell Wilson announced Wednesday night on Instagram, but he wasn’t talking about the way the Seahawks’ offense played in its first game.
In a short video, Wilson promised to stop using plastic straws because of the negative environmental impacts they have on the world’s oceans. His post was part of a campaign by the Lonely Whale Foundation challenging people to stop using plastic straws. On its website, the foundation says Americans use 500 million plastic straws per day and at the current pace there will be more plastic than fish in oceans by 2050.
