Say No To Straws (Special Earth Day Comic)

Did you know straws are among the top ten types of litter found? These disposable plastics are not recyclable and never go away! This means they continue to accumulate in landfills and worse as litter. This litter is harmful to animals. We need to cut back on plastic. Let’s start with limiting our straw use.

This comic illustrates this idea and is perfect for Earth Day. Students can color the comic as they learn about the topic.

This Earth Day Activity includes

Two versions of the content- one about ocean wildlife and the other about freshwater wildlife.
Doodle Notes for each version
A follow-up supplemental activity page with an Earth Day wordsearch, crossword, and maze.
Create-a-Comic Project that will enable learners to create their own comic about conservation.
Easel versions of the guided notes
