Owner and President of Gossett Marketing, a leading promotional marketing firm, Danette Gossett, offers eco-conscious options for Earth Day Promotions that can potentially help clean up landfills and the ocean.

MIAMI, FL– March 11, 2019 – Danette Gossett, Founder of Gossett Marketing Communications, Inc., Co-Founder of Promotions Resource, LLC, and co-author of the best-selling book, Transform, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, “Let’s Help Each Other Sip And Save Mother Earth,” in which Ms. Gossett reminds readers of the damage a single-use straw can inflict.

Gossett writes, “Earth Day 2019 is just around the corner. And we finally have discovered the straw that broke our consciousness open about single-use plastic waste.” She continues, “The single-serve plastic straw. Thanks to a 9-year old boy who observed a common problem in a restaurant and pursued it.” Gossett elaborates, “Now, the effort to ban single-use plastic has become a world-wide movement that is helping us humans try to clean up our mess. By eliminating single-use straw consumption we are helping to put an end to this home-wrecker and give our mother earth a greater chance of survival.”

According to Gossett, “There is absolutely no doubt that plastic is the culprit. The biggest offenders are truly the single-use plastics.According to some sources, “it could take 500 years for just one plastic bag to decompose — others bump that number up to 1,000.”

She adds, “If you’ve even seen images of The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a collection of plastic, floating trash halfway between Hawaii and California, you may have a deeper understanding of the problem we face. According to a recent study the “garbage patch” has grown to more than 600,000 square miles, which is twice the size of Texas. “

“Yep,” says Gossett, emphasizing “our plastic bags and straws end up in landfills and the ocean after we’ve used them or simply discarded them without even using them. Unfortunately, the average American generates about 5 pounds of trash per day with 13 percent of that being plastic.”

“The statistics are alarming,” she says, adding, “But, we can all do something to participate in the solution. Today, we have more options for environmentally “responsible” products than ever before.”
