WHY USE REUSABLE STRAWS?
Everyday we throw away enough plastic straws that, if joined end-to-end, they would go around the equator of Earth 2.5 times!
This is a pretty startling fact. We were shocked too.
If that hasn't got you convinced, here are a few more reasons...
1. Reusables are more eco. Plastic Never Goes Away. Every single plastic straw that was ever made, still exists today in some form. It has just broken down into smaller pieces. Marine life and birds are now mistaking these little pieces for food. They can't digest the plastic in their stomach and end up in a lot of pain. Many birds and fish, even whales, are dying from eating plastic. Plastic has now made its way into the human food chain. Eww.
2. They are healthier. Stop chewing on that petrochemical straw! CaliStraws are non-leaching; there's no BPA, PVC, lead or phthalates.
3. They make drinks look ridiculously good. Strong smoothie game, meet stronger smoothie game. Your drinks will look great.
Here's a couple of things to get you started....
1. #refusethestraw when you are out. It's a bit of a tricky habit at the start but you get used to it and it shows businesses what their customers want.
2. Use your CaliStraw as much as possible! Every time you use your straw, you're saving a straw from going to landfill or ending up in the ocean. They are nicer to use and healthier than the disposable ones.
3. Share your pics on social media. Spread the message far and wide! Tag #MyCaliStraw and @caliwoods_eco to be in to grab some monthly goodies!
CaliWoods Making a Difference
If something has always been done a certain way, does that mean it is the right way?
Let's change things up and look differently at the way we consume.
We Care About Earth = Less Plastic, More Refusing and Reusing, More Education
We Think It Can Be Done Better = More Reusables and Sustainable Products
We Culture Create = Stylish Eco Products that Lead-the-way to Positive Change
We are aiming to be a Sustainable Business = It's about more than Profit.
