Straws
With the increasing
climatic changes and the growing concern about the harmful effects of plastic, it’s time we switch to healthier and more environmentally friendly alternatives. According to
Isfoundation, plastic straws contain BisphenolA (BPA).
BPA is a harmful chemical found in plastics that mimics the activity of hormones, most commonly estrogen, which can lead to a number of reproductive
disordersand other conditions, such as
diabetes and
heart disease.
Plus, just imagine, if a single person were to use a plastic straw every day for the next ten years, there would be 3,650 straws worth of landfill! It is thus imperative you switch to reusable items and
recycle plastic items as much as possible.
There are dozens of
alternatives to plastic straws, some of which include:
- Glass Straws
- Bamboo Straws
- Stainless Steel Straws
While
glass straws may add elegance to any dining table, it is not safe to use for the kids or for travel. Likewise,
bamboo straws may only seem a good option if you are throwing a tropical themed straw party.
Stainless steel straws are ideal for just about any occasion. Not only do they add elegance to your dining room but are considerably more durable as compared to plastic straws.

Haven’t we polluted the earth enough? According to
Mother Earth Living, the manufacturing of plastic products releases a whole set of

neurotoxic chemicals into the atmosphere. These products eventually find their way to our ecology through the air, water and land pollution.
Teach your kids the importance of switching to
environmentally friendly products, such as metal straws to protect the environment. This will encourage them to reduce the use of plastic made products and recycle.
