In an effort to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay, Ocean City is asking restaurants and bars not to automatically give out straws with drinks.
“Kind of allows us to be ambassadors for the program, so we take a glass to the table, and if it doesn’t have a straw in it, and someone asks for one, it gives us the opportunity to explain why we are not using straws and why it’s important to forgo the straw this time,” Red Red Wine Bar owner Lisa Bolter said.
