Bermuda-headquartered Bacardi and Lonely Whale have joined forces to help rid the environment of single-use plastic, including the goal to eliminate one billion single-use plastic straws by 2020.

In addition, Bacardi announced a commitment to review its global supply chain, with the aim of removing non-essential, non-recyclable single-use plastic waste, and the company said they will encourage consumers, customers, and all those looking to lend their ideas and voices to the initiative, to join the campaign entitled #TheFutureDoesntSuck.
