    I'm sitting at the computer with my drink and no straw. If I buy some straws, will I save the environment?

    I really see no point in a straw unless you have a medical disability and require one

    what's the point of these 'eco friendly' alternatives when it's not needed in the first place

    • odysseus on 23/09/2019 - 13:41

      I guess it's for those who say they do have a need. Or just prefer to use one, but can do without the plastic waste.

      Many of the people who need straws for medical reasons require the ones that bend. This is not a solution for them.

      While true for almost all kinds of drinks and I realise this sounds very first-world-problem-y but if you were on the go (driving, walking, etc) and bought a thickshake from an ice cream shop, how would you drink it without a straw?

      Personally, I carry a stainless steel straw with me in my backpack and elect to use that if I'm out.
      If I made a thickshake at home I would just drink out of a tall glass.

      I think the fact that these alternative-material straws are being produced means the conversation about plastic waste is becoming more mainstream and that can only be a good thing.

        Do you realize that if the milk in your thickshake is cows' milk it is an order of magnitude more destructive to the natural environment than a plastic straw?

          I keep forgetting. You'd better keep reminding people, just in case.

          What did you think of the prominent vegan protester Natalie Cruz who recently admitted it's all for show and she gorges on milk chocolate whilst making vegan propaganda..

          • fantombloo on 23/09/2019 - 22:16

            @[Deactivated]: I don't actually know (or care) what you're talking about but I do know that Donald Trump, Josef Stalin and Pauline Hanson are not vegan. That's probably as relevant as what you're talking about, probably.

                    @[Deactivated]: Let me respond to your physics question the same way people here often respond to me:

                    Lions don't solve polynomials, unless they're stuck on a desert island, and our ancestors didn't solve polynomials either. Look at our teeth - do they look like they were made for solving polynomials? Plus what would happen to all the jobs of the mathematicians if everyone started solving polynomials - that's unAustralian. Are you saying I can't love maths and refuse to solve polynomials at the same time? I know polynomials might be the best way to solve the problem but instead I present you this RSPCA approved paper straw that was humanely made on my uncle's farm. And anyway, for every polynomial I don't solve I'm sure someone out there will solve two big fat juicy ones, so take that!

              As weird as it may be that a ferocious apex predator cries for milk in between hunting for prepackaged chicken nuggets, each to their own. I just think it fair they'd stick to their own mum's (or consenting sexual partner's) tittyjuice rather than steal it from some other child's mother, particularly when they're from a completely different species too.

    How long does it take to biodegrade? Where are they manufactured and where are the components sourced from?
    These are things you need to consider when you see claims that something is environmentally better. A coworker was perfectly happy to throw away biodegradable water bottles based on the feeling that they were better, but buying one steel bottle that will last 10 years is a much better choice after you consider the embodied energy in the sourcing, manufacturing and transporting of thousands of disposable straws, even if they are better than plastic.

      Thank you for your comment.
      The straws are sourced from farmers in Vietnam. Selling this Grass makes sure the area stays protected from big industries. The grass grows for about 1 years, is harvested by hand. It's cut and dried by hand as well without any chemicals. All straws are tested. Packed in cardboard. The straws are not just biodegradable but compostable in your home compost.

        Thanks for your response, it's really good to see a company that knows about its products and doesn't give a BS marketing speech. I still wouldn't buy them but I appreciate your methods of production.

          Thank you. I totally understand what you mean.
          Some people find the transition from plastic to no straw very hard, I myself have to admit, I like cocktails with straws. Therefore, we believe that our Grass Straws can help to make this eco-friendly transit possible, especially when looking at commercial needs.

    Safe drinking of hot drinks is a real stretch.

    • MarketingOaZis @ CanDealOnline on 23/09/2019 - 13:43

      The straws are 100% naturally dried Grass, You can drink hot teas, chocolate or coffee through them. We have tried all type of drinks no soggyness, no burn. At home you can rinse and use them up to 3 times. Commercially dispose of in compost or organic bin. It's grass.

  • Nukkels on 23/09/2019 - 13:47

    Apart from straws being unnecessary, why would anyone want to add put grass in their mouth and alter the taste of their beverage?

    Do people not re-use plastic straws at home? I've put plastic straws through the dishwasher numerous times, or just flushed my own under a running tap. Only those bendy ones seem to fair badly with re-use - the straight ones keep going.

      Reusing Single-use plastic straws, especially after washing in a dishwasher, is not safe.

      In fact, any item intended for single use can be potentially dangerous for your health, read our blog on reusing plastic water bottles.

        I get that, and sure, as a theoretical matter it is not ideal. But nothing is, and as a practical matter I'd hazard there is much more that can be more harmful than a washed straw. I would expect bamboo would provide much more space to harbour food particles or bacteria than plastic straws after a single wash - even for PS as mentioned, but IME most plastic food utensils are actually PP (or even PE), not polystyrene.

        I applaud any genuine desire to mitigate damage to our natural environment but IMO your blog post is excessively alarmist about plastics. Apart from the fact that straws are barely a blip, bottles arguably a fair whack more, on our "environmental footprints," there is plenty good reason to reusing plastic water bottles. After they have served their purpose they are already there; they may be used many times before they degrade. This comes down to the particular use case of each user. If I'm the type to throw my bottles in the back of the ute then I'm better off burning through re-purposed extant coke bottles rather than buying "specialised" reusable bottles which might last only a bit more; if I'm precious about my bottles then perhaps a glass bottle is better overall; my kids often break or lose their steel water bottles, if not the bottles themselves then the lids which are generally not supplied as spare items - there is a good case for them to use re-purposed bottles if we could get good sized ones as part of our regular drink purchases (we don't / can't); etc. How you use them, what you store, etc. all play part in making a sensible decision and a one-size-fits-all approach is a bit over-simplistic for this.

    I grow my own Khanyiso reed and use it as a straw. That way I reduce my carbon footprint because shipping grass straws from Vietnam is very bad for the environment. I can just feel the global temperature rising with every batch that comes over the ocean in those flying carbon-spewing machines. And I don't forget to tell everyone about it, because what good is saving the planet if no one knows how great I am.

      probably sent by ship as part of a container to save shipping costs.
