Bamboo Straws

Plastic Straws are one of classic examples of single use plastics.  More than 500 million straws are thrown away each day in the U.S. alone (1). Majority of these straws are made from Polypropylene, a material which degrades slowly, and along with other items smaller items are quite difficult to recycle. As a result, straws always end up in a landfill or damaging our oceans and marine wildlife. Bamboo Straws are a great alternative to single-use plastic straws. The light-weight, chemical-free and microbe-resistant bamboo straws are ideal for children as well unlike plastic straws which leech chemicals during use.
