Milo Cress, Vermont resident and founder of BeStrawFree

Americans use 500 million plastic straws a day and nine-year-old Milo Cress thinks that's way too many. He started BeStrawFree, an organization that urges restaurants in Milo's home state of Vermont to use fewer plastic straws.
His cause is garnering attention from the likes of the National Restaurant Association, the state legislature and the governor.
