    logo_sedonachamber2Sedona AZ (September 5, 2019) – In August 2018, The Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau joined forces with the City of Sedona, Sedona Compost, Keep Sedona Beautiful and the Sustainability Alliance to launch Straw Free Sedona, a campaign that encourages local businesses and their patrons to cease use of plastic straws.

    One year after the launch, 52 businesses have pledged to stop using one-time use plastic straws; a small step towards a more sustainable Sedona. Reports have shown that in one year, more than 1-million one-time use plastic straws have been eliminated in Sedona! Thanks to the following participants:

    Thank you to the following businesses who have eagerly jumped on this Sustainable Tourism Plan tactic. This is just the beginning! By August 2020, we hope to have 75 businesses cut single-use plastic straws from their inventory. If requested by a customer, businesses are offering straws made from paper, bamboo, avocado pits, or selling $.80 stainless steel straws. There are many affordable alternatives.

    Although the elimination of plastic straws is a small step towards less waste on land and in the water, there are many more initiatives that can be put into action; such as decreasing the use of plastic bags and Styrofoam containers. Perhaps your home or business can work towards zero-waste or use your food waste to compost a new vegetable garden. What initiative will you lead for a brighter future??

    Hey Papi
    Happy Father’s Day Papi!

    How’s it going up there in heaven? It’s Father’s Day here on Earth, and I’m thinking of you—missing you—now that I’m one year older than you were when you passed away. I just want to thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you for helping me walk when I couldn’t walk. Thank you for making me strong against all adversity. Thank you for teaching me how to look behind the scenes and see what’s not being shown.
