These environmentally friendly straws are amazing for the earth
Every day, we wake up to more news about the state of the planet and the environment. Climate change is happening, and it's important that we act now to save the earth. Any small change we can make helps, and eliminating plastic straws is a small step we all can make.
Plastic straws. They don’t seem like much. They’re convenient to use, and they keep ice from clanking against our mouths as we drink. Because we all hate when that happens. But they’re everywhere. When you take a moment to take stock of plastic straws and how many are used daily, it’s astonishing. These GIR environmentally friendly straws can help (and no, they’re not paper).
Sure, there are a lot of people who don’t see the big deal, and they are upset about having to use alternative straws. They don’t see a point in eliminating plastic straws. Some of these people hold tightly to their thoughts about using plastic straws, and some can be won over. More could be won over if there were a better replacement to paper or metal straws, and GIR Straws are just that.
Using an alternative straw may not seem like a big action, but it’s a small step that we have the power to make to reduce waste and help the planet.
These environmentally friendly straws even handle boba pearls
Plastic in the ocean is a huge problem right now. Ask yourself, how will we hurt the world by reducing waste? The answer is, we won’t. Any elimination of waste leaves the world a better place. Simply swapping your traditional plastic straw for a GIR Straw helps you do your part.
What’s the big deal with paper and metal straws anyway?
Paper straws are a great biodegradable solution that won’t take up space in landfills or emit gasses that are hazardous to the ozone when they are decaying. But the problem is that they get soggy. Leave that straw in your glass for too long if you’re nursing your drink, and it’ll be useless.
Cold drinks or hot drinks, this straw won’t drastically change temperature
Metal straws are fantastic and zero-waste. Many of them are collapsible, so they’re easier to store. But if you’ve ever been driving and hit a bump in the road while you’re drinking from one of them, you understand one of the problems. It’s not pleasant to hit one against your lip or your tooth, and some people have even chipped their teeth from using one. And sometimes they can make your drink taste a bit metallic. No one wants that.
GIR Straws has a better solution with their environmentally friendly straws
GIR Straws has solved the problem for those wanting to take a step and save the planet and who also don’t want to use paper or metal straws. Their environmentally friendly silicone straw is the perfect balance between functionality and sustainability. Their straw will never get soggy and will never chip your tooth. What it will do? Help save the planet.
These straws are made from platinum grade silicone. They are soft and bendy, yet sturdy. They can even handle the thickest milkshakes without an issue.

There’s a color for everyone, and multi-packs with different themed colors. There are even Kid and Cocktail straws that glow in the dark. We think that’s pretty awesome.

What we ❤️
What’s not to love? With the vast array of sizes and colors, you can’t go wrong. There’s a straw for every drink. We love the high quality and usability of these straws. And, most of all, we love doing our part to help save the planet. Every little bit helps.
What we’d ❤️ to see
We’d love to see travel cases for the straws that don’t come with them. While the reusable packaging is nice, if you’re going out for a night of cocktails, you don’t necessarily want to take a whole package of straws with you for your cocktails. And putting just one in your pocket or person isn’t the most hygienic.
