Chattanooga boy's efforts to clean up waterways gets celebrity's attention

Cash Daniels, 8, made an impassioned plea to Mark Wahlberg's restaurant WahlBurgers, to use paper, not plastic straws.

A Chattanooga boy's mission to clean up waterways has garnered the attention of actor and singer Mark Wahlberg.

More specifically, Wahlberg's daughter.

Cash Daniels, 8, made an impassioned plea to Mark Wahlberg's restaurant WahlBurgers, to use paper, not plastic straws.

Daniels is from Chattanooga but it's no surprise his mom grew up in Knoxville.

Just over a month after his request, Wahlberg posted a short video of his daughter, who is also eight, who loves sea turtles and wants to save them, just like Cash does.

She even mentions Cash by name in the Instagram post below!
