The Impact of Single-Use Plastic Straws on Our Environment

Despite their small size, single-use plastic straws create enormous pollution problems, from littering our landscapes to endangering marine life when discarded in the ocean. According to a study by the University of California, nearly [8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world's beaches](https://news.berkeley.edu/2019/01/09/plastic-straws/). Incorporating reusable straws into our daily lives is a small yet impactful step we can take to combat this devastating issue.

Caring for Your Reusable Straws
