Did you know that very few places can recycle plastic straws? While some companies have made the switch to compostable straws, the rest of those drink accessories end up in the landfill. The United States alone generates millions of straws per day destined for the garbage. Once there, they release harmful chemicals into the soil for years.

Still love the straw experience? Not to fret. The market has tons of reusable straws, and even one person can make a big difference. Stock up on your favorite type of reusable straw. You can find silicone ones, metal, and glass options. Get one that’s straight or bent, depending on your preference. We personally favor the metal straws with a silicone end, for comfortable, usability, and ease of cleaning.
Worried about cleaning your straw between uses? Many straws come with an included cleaning brush. If not, you can easily find one online to make cleaning a cinch. As an added bonus, the cleaning brush works great on kids’ water bottles, and the spouts of sippy cups.
If you want a simple way to reduce your environmental footprint, experiment with the different kinds of reusable straws and find your favorite today.
