Ways to Reduce

Buy Reusable Straws

Cut down on your use of disposable plastic by switching to stainless steel, silicone, glass or paper straws. Find more eco-friendly straw options.

Make Stainless Steel Straws

If you want to get crafty, try making a set of stainless steel straws. Metal straws are safe and reusable, unlike paper or plastic straws.

Refuse the Straw

When you go out to a bar, restaurant or coffee shop, refuse the straw. When you place your order, tell your server right away that you don’t need one.

Donate Reusable Straws

Reusable straws can be donated just like any other reusable barware or tableware.
