Paper Straws!!?
It was a good day out and about!
The days I go out and do stuffs all day. Having some good food, exploring new places and learning new things casually. I considered those days good days!
Here's another day where we went to get breakfast at a place we hadn't been called 'Redwood Cafe' in Fortuna, California.
Then we headed a bit up north to had some sweet at Ramone's Bakery & Cafe, Eureka, California. The desserts there were good! Like, not amazingly good but you know, good enough :D
One thing I discovered there and it wowed me.. Well, maybe I had been under a rock or something, I'm sure a lot of you have never seen this as well so here I am showing you this innovation..
Paper Straws!
Yes! Straws made of paper!
Doesn't that sound a bit weird to you? I didn't realise at first though I noticed how weird it looked. As a user (sucker) I was, it worked as well as a normal straw, or did it? It feels a bit weird as it's pretty hard compared to normal ones. Also, it's easily torn by being used for too long, like, 2 hours..
These paper straws are manufactured by Aardvark in the USA with 100% compostable bio-degradable, and FEA approved materials
The place seems to care so much about the oceans and to be honest, I do too! Both the oceans and the environment in general so..
Here are some good reasons behind it :
- 90% of all trash in the world's oceans in comprised of plastic
- Plastic straws are among the top 10 debris items found in the oceans
- 44% of all seabirds and mammals have ingested plastic
- Each day we use 500 million straws - enough to fill 46,400 school busses per year
- All plastic are harmful to marine environment
- if we don't act now, by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans
Let's just all be responsible while having fun in this planet! <3

definitely paper straws! man we are literally killing this planet with our own hands and have closed our eyes to it!
I'm just afraid we wont be able to fix it with this rate! :(
but we hope tho! :) <3
I always drink my beverages without straws.
That's an option that most businesses aren't pushing ... If they asked "Do you need a straw?", I wonder what percentage of folks would simply say "No Thanks"?
That makes sense too!

Then I must find them all 😋😋
Yeah, using paper or metal or bamboo straws is becoming a new fad because FINALLY people realize it's disgusting that they get caught in sea turtles noses and such. I personally don't use straws...and never have really, other than when I drink something that absolutely needs a straw, and I have a glass straw for those cases when at home, or I reuse one of the various straws that I've collected, because it's better than throwing them out. If they get dirty or break, I cut them down the stem, twice, then shred them before throwing them out...though I really would like to get into personal recycling because the local recycling sucks so much that they won't take random plastics.
