Calvin Harris has recently teamed up with the Hakkasan Group to eliminate all single-use plastic straws in the group’s clubs. That’s right, this is the last straw (literally)!
The successful hospitality giant has numerous restaurants and nightclubs around the globe. Many are in Las Vegas, where Calvin has an exclusive residency. Together, they’ve realized what kind of environmental impact that they have had throughout the years. Part of this is due to the vast amount of plastic straws distributed throughout the years.
It has been reported that a whopping 500 million straws are utilized and discarded every day in the USA alone. This adds to the already shocking 175 billion that find their way into the oceans and waterways. In additon, several Fortune 500 businesses are equally pledging to jump on board with this important cause.
In addition, Hakkasan will begin phasing out plastic straws immediately throughout numerous other day-clubs. These include Omnia, Jewel and Wet Republic.
We encourage our followers to lead by this fantastic example. As the announcement reads, “small actions can make a difference“.
