MGM Resorts International Says "That's the Last Straw" By Reducing Single-Use Plastic Straws

MGM Resorts International announced that single-use plastic straws will only be served upon request at company operated restaurants in the U.S. As one of the world’s top five largest non-chain restaurant operators in the world, MGM Resorts and its employees understand their responsibility in protecting our planet and helping reduce their environmental footprint.

Introducing the Pull Factor Project

For decades we’ve been pushing sustainability on consumers. Despite our best efforts, it’s still not widely embraced in mainstream culture. And yet, we also know the tremendous power of brands to inspire our aspirations, shape our behaviors and mobilize action at scale.

To meet this moment, Sustainable Brands, in collaboration with BBMG, is launching a peer-to-peer collaboration of human insights experts, marketing leaders and sustainability practitioners to better understand the dynamics of desire and human behavior change so we can increase brand relevance, grow market share and fuel the shift towards a culture of sustainable living. This is the first project of the #BrandsForGood collaboratory — an initiative to leverage brands’ voices to deliver “The Good Life.”
