7 Reusable Straws Worth Buying

The constant use of single-use plastic straws isn't sustainable anymore. A massive amount of them ends up in landfills and in the ocean. You can do something about it — say no to plastic straws and bring your own.

According to the Strawless Ocean, Americans use nearly 500 million plastic straws every day. They can't be considered to be recycled because they're too lightweight, so most of them end up in nature. 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastic in their stomachs.

If you're searching for clean and easy alternatives to plastic straws, we've rounded up seven reusable straws as an eco-friendly solution.
