To the Editor:

Save the ocean! There are six ways you can help:

1. Use a reusable straw and bring it to restaurants and on car trips.

2. Soak in a tub of bubbles from bath bombs — not the bottled stuff.

3. Ask you favorite pizza place to leave out the little plastic “tabbe” in your pizza box.

4. Carry a reusable water bottle and utensils so you can skip the plastic stuff.

5. Ask for your ice cream in a cone, not a bowl — no plastic spoon needed.

6. East nuts, stove top popcorn, and candies from the bulk food section of the store (and gathered in a reusable bag!)
