Hello, we are Sangmyung University club "Palette!"
Last semester, through various Plastic Free Campaigns
we found out that one of the most wasted plastic trashes is plastic straws!
So this time, we prepared rice-straw campaign!
The campaign was to equip rice-straw at cafes.
We proceeded the activity with cafe "Grazie" located in Sangmyung University. :)
We placed the straws within eyeshot so students can use rice-straw than plastic straw!
As a result, 1114 rice-straws were used for five days! :)
And about 222-223 straws were used per day!
We also proceeded a hash tag event and presented stainless straws for gift
to participants who upload photos using rice-straw on their SNS!
32 people participated in the event and using stainless straws, too.
Many people were not familiar with rice-straws compared to stainless straws,
but through this campaign we could inform it to many people. :)
From now on, also, we will take more passion for Plastic Free Campus!
