This is the FinalStraw | Let's Save the World
I think we’re all familiar with the fact that more than 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year. That’s plastic soda rings, plastic bags, plastic cups and bottles and, most notably from the horrible turtle photos, plastic straws.
Because of the environmental whoas of plastic cups and straws, it’s now “trendy” to tote around your own reusable versions. Everyone’s bopping around with their Starbucks cups, stainless steal straws and VSCO approved Hydro Flasks.
That’s great. But what about us travel bloggers who are living out our wanderlust, traveling from Europe to Asia to North America and back again every weekend?
That $50 Hydro Flask is cutting a chunk out of the budget, plus it won’t even fit in your carry-on. Since we travel carry-on only, that sucker’s a no-go.
So, we thought, what if we started with something smaller. Straws. Let’s just try to eliminate plastic straws.
We took to Amazon and started searching for the best stainless steel straws. Then we realized, those things are going to be like bobby pins. Here today and gone tomorrow! We’ll never be able to keep track of them in our bags or we just won’t be able to gather them up when we need them.
That’s when we stumbled across FinalStraw.
They’re stainless steel straws with silicone ends for a nice sipping experience. But the best part is that they collapse into a tiny, 7cm, 1.8oz carry case. The 23cm straw folds in quarters and slides into its cute, colorful packaging! Inside the packing you’ll also find a handy-dandy cleaning brush.
There’s a tiny little keychain hook on the carry case so it’s perfect for travel! It’s small enough to fit in your bag and handy enough not to get lost. You can attach it to your keys or even a zipper on your carry-on!
If your an environmental buff then you’re probably wondering about that carry case. It sure looks like plastic, right? Well, it is. But it’s post consumer recycled plastic. Still a-okay for the turtles!
You can get your straw in either silver or rainbow and the case comes in five positively wonderful colors! Or you can opt for the special Pirates Booty Black for your case and either black or gold for your straw.
Whatever you choose, we know you’ll love it as much as we do!
