Interesting history on how this movement started ..........in 2011 , an 11 year old boy in Vermont named Milo Cress noticed that even though drinks came with straws , most people didn’t use them . so he started calling straw manufacturers to see how many straws were actually made in a year. There were a lot of numbers given but he took the mid number , divided by 365 and came up with a figure of 500 million a day, enough to fill 25 school buses

Here’s hoping our grandkids continue on doing a better job of protecting the environment than our generation ever did

My daughter is now selling straws made from Mexican bamboo. Her company is called Bam. She is selling them here but she's leaving Sunday. They can be ordered online also.

So pleased to see -- even in just the past week or so, more restaurants turning to compostable soda straws. One server told us theirs are made from avocado!!
