Park Scholars Shannon Dolan, majoring in environmental sciences, and Annalise Hafner, majoring in biochemistry and nutrition science, are using a grant from the NC State Sustainability Fund to explore ways to reduce the number of single-use plastic straws discarded on campus. Efforts include promoting reusable straws, not using straws at all and using compostable sip lids.
