It’s no secret we’re putting the environment through the wringer. While the challenges are great, small changes matter. And when we talk about small changes, we mean things as simple as swapping out single-use plastic straws. No, you don’t need to start chugging your Starbucks order; just back the FinalStraw on Kickstarter. The FinalStraw is a collapsible, portable, and reusable straw that even sports a built-in squeegee so you can clean it. It unfurls in quite the satisfying manner, and it packs away in a carrying case that fits on your keychain. Americans use 500 million straws every single day, which is enough to wrap the earth 2.5 times. And guess what? Those plastic ones don’t decompose and their lightweight build makes them prone to getting blown into waterways. The FinalStraw is a tiny step toward a healthier planet.
