(Put-In-Bay) - Businesses on Put-In-Bay are getting rid of plastic straws. The Roadhouse Bar started the 'Skip The Straw' initiative this summer which is part of a national push to keep plastic out of the environment.
Employees say they gave patrons the option of no straw or biodegradable straw, so they could help keep Lake Eire clean. Put-In-Bay's main season ends this week and Roadhouse Bar owners say they only went through seven cases of straws this past year, versus 40 cases from the season before.
