Ban plastic straws\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Choosing ecological straws in your daily life is a way to fight against the presence of plastics in the oceans. 6. Reduce your water consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n Taking a shower with warm water and, above all, changing sometimes with cold water can help reduce the time you spend in the shower and, therefore, your water consumption. It also limits the energy consumption necessary to heat the water, which is good for the environment. Then, prefer the shower and leave the bathtub. The shower consumes much less water than the bathtub, enough to save water, as long as it doesn’t take long. Therefore, it is better not to lengthen the shower more than 5 minutes and not let the water run constantly.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/coolrooms.com\/palaciodeatocha\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2019-11-12-a-las-9.08.28.png\")

\nSmall and light, straws are very rarely found in recycling bins, a problem that can be seen on beaches. And although the straws are only a small fraction of the plastic that pollutes the oceans, their size makes them one of the most harmful polluters because they get entangled and sea animals and fish consume them. Our hotel has removed plastic straws from their tables.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/coolrooms.com\/palaciodeatocha\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/shower-1027904_1920.jpg\")
