Compostable straws

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
