A 5-year old UK girl wrote a letter to Pizza Express, asking them to stop using plastic straws, and they did
The girl, named Ava, begged the chain to ban them, as they're bad for animals. The chain agreed with her, and started to ban them from all 460 of their locations and replaced them with biodegradable paper ones. In case you can't read the letter, it says:
"'To Pizza Express, my name is Ava. I am writing because me and my brothers eat in Pizza Express a lot. 'When I get my drink it always has a plastic straw in it. I am writing to please ask you to stop using plastic straws as they are very bad for animals. They can get stuck in their mouths and noses. 'Could you only use straws if people ask for them as I don't want any animals to get sick."

New parking meters in downtown LA are collecting change for the homeless
These colourful meters collect coins for the C3 Alliance, based in Skid Row, to help the homeless in the area find housing.
This initiative is only in one area, but the hope is to expand it to other neighbourhoods in the city

#15 is awesome but I have to wonder, can an adult actually donate a kidney to a kid that much smaller? Wouldn't an adult kidney be too big?

I always love these! But my problem is people who do nice things and take pictures of themselves doing it.

#21 - maybe Ava could write to more restaurant chains!

#5 “uh hi- I’ve been eating out of the dumpster can I have some free food” because that would be an easy conversation if your eating garbage
MichaelCBennett
If you've been driven to dumpster dive for food then awkward conversation is the lesser worry.
somewhatwiseguy
This is true when you're that desperate you've done worse than have an awkward conversation

The ironic thing about the Brazil hospital ship is that Brazil has free health care for all and this is just how they get it to remote areas
Wankathon
But to most Americans its some amazing humanitarian achievement, free healthcare. Sad

Paper straws aren't much better as they take a lot of water to produce, sadly. Should just use our mouth holes and lips as the Lawd intended
GrampaJack
We got water fool - it falls from the sky! What we don't have is infinite space for the old plastics to go! Soda is bad for your teeth?
Flyndaran
Unless you're gargling with it for an hour at a time, it's no worse than any other non-pure water drink.
aufkurs
Soda is bad for everything. Stop drinking it
GrampaJack
Agreed, I have a root beer float once or twice & that's all the soda I drink for the year. I was just explaining a benefit of straw usage.
minant
No, that'll never work. We'll have to try making them out of glass and/or steel next.
GrampaJack
glass breaks, stainless steel is the way.
minant
And maybe concrete after that.

Soooo, any more info about how a girl raised $750,000 selling cookies, or you just gonna leave it at that?

Back in the mid 90's I found a cookie recipe online for "scooby snacks", it called for "ground herbal medicine". Probably related.

Orgy? Did miss something?
ineffablyintangible
It was sarcasm. Christmas is the only time selfies are allowed without beimg downvoted to hell. Some still are

will there be more? or are you going to just leave that dangling?
