Aardvark Straws

Yesterday a friend of ours showed us some straws he had saved just for us :)

The wrapper is paper and says "Earth Friendly Straw" So we were curious and opened it (the day before we had run into plastic straws at a restaurant and didn't even realize it, plastic is so sneaky!) so earth friendly straws were really a big surprise for us. The straw inside was made from paper! A paper straw! Not a plastic straw! We were so excited!

I checked out the website also listed on the wrapper and read through their "About" and "History" sections and I highly recommend you do the same. If you own a restaurant, cafe, bar, use straws frequently, or know someone who does any of these, please please tell them about Aardvark Straws! I plan on going to my local businesses and spreading the word, if we all just get one or two businesses to change what they carry we can make a HUGE difference :)

It doesn't get soggy and mushy in the liquid?

Nope, doesn't get soggy in the liquid, they line their straws with various kinds of wax substances to prevent this from happening
