Have you been thinking about wanting to help prevent waste and having waste thrown into landfills and our oceans? This is one quick and easy way to get a start on helping our environment! Glass Dharma is a company that makes glass straws that are made out of borosilicate tubing and is the strongest glass available! That right there answered my first question. Wouldn't it break easily?! Even though it's made with the strongest type of glass, Glass Dharma offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee as well as a Lifetime Guarantee Against Breakage! I received the four straws pictured above!. They also have a brush you can purchase, so it makes it easy to get the whole inside of the straw clean after use. Speaking of cleaning, how many plastic straws can you put into the dishwasher and can handle hot and cold drinks?! Well, these ones can. I learned that plastic straws can leach toxins into your food to, so this is even a 'healthier' alternative to regular old plastic straws. What I found cool, is when you buy a bag of plastic straws, they are all one diameter. Glass Dharma has 4 options for sizing! The sipper (7mm), ice tea (9.5 mm), smoothie (12mm) and the bubble tea (14 mm). They also have different lengths too! I didn't expect to get different sized diameter straws, so this was very clever I thought, because what if you have a thick smoothie? Most of the time I just have to sip it on the side of the glass because I can't get it to come up the straw. That problem is solved now! My personal favorite one is the bent straw one. It reminds me of the bendy plastic straws but much more sturdy and higher quality! I really am in love with these just because of the good it's doing by not using and wasting plastic straws and also because once you have a set of these you wont have to waste money either by buying pack after pack of one time use straws!!

My kiddos would love these! I'm always melting those 'heavy duty' plastic straws in the dishwasher! 12/19/2012 06:08:10 am
These are so cute. And I have a fake Christmas tree to help the environment. (Okay, so I have it because I like them better...) but it helps the environment anyway!

Leave a comment on this post telling me what you do to help the environment! I use fewer plastic sandwiches bags and try not to take out under-filled trash bags to the canister. 12/26/2012 09:16:57 am
I use reusable bags when I go to the store instead of using plastic or paper that the store provides for the customer.
