GIVEAWAY: Straws For Life says no to plastic straws

I am becoming more and more aware of the destructive nature of humans. Perhaps I was naive when I was younger, or too self-obsessed to notice what we are doing to our beautiful planet. We all know the the phrase ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’, but do we really do all we can to practice this? I know that there is so much more that I can do and one of the practices I am putting in place, is to say no to plastic straws.

Say no to plastic straws

So what’s the big deal about plastic straws? This is what the Two Oceans Aquarium’s Straws Suck campaign has to say about it:

Straws are lightweight and easily blown away by the wind. They are not recyclable. Animals can mistake straws for food, which can lead to their deaths.

The easiest way to not use a straw is to refuse it when you order. That way the waiter will bring you a straw-less drink. You might also want to investigate reusable, or paper straws.

Straws For Life

I was recently introduced to Straws For Life. These gorgeous stainless steel straws will last for years and, let’s be honest, they look damn good too.

Straws For Life is the new alternative to traditional, plastic, single use straws.

The set I received contains 4 beautiful, eco-friendly stainless steel straws (two straight and two bendy) in a hessian bag. Now I can take my straws wherever I go making it super easy to say no thanks to a plastic straw. The set also includes a convenient cleaning brush. That’s a big win. Plus these beauties are dishwasher friendly.
