DAY 5 OF JAR'S 12 DAYS OF ZERO WASTE CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS: DITCH PLASTIC STRAWS

For anyone who’s been looking for ways to reduce waste, it should come as no surprise that these straws will help do just that. According to National Geographic,

In just the U.S. alone, one estimate suggests 500 million straws are used every single day. One study published earlier this year estimated as many as 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world's beaches.

Eight million tons of plastic flow into the ocean every year, and straws comprise just 0.025 percent of that.

If that doesn’t speak volumes, I don’t know what will. 500-million straws a day in just the United States. It’s time to make a change. Your change alone won’t make that much of a difference, but the reusable straw is becoming something of a movement. Collectively, we will make a difference. One way you can help with that movement is by using these straws as a stocking stuffer and enclose facts about single-use plastic straws. Often times, all it takes is knowledge to get people to change their stubborn ways, so enclose a short note along with the straw(s) to give them facts like the one I just gave you above!
