In a world that is being threatened by our lifestyle and choices, we all need to be more green-conscious. Thankfully, more and more people are beginning to see the need to reduce the use of plastics and turn to metal straws and bamboo straws. To reinforce that practice, we shall take a look at the benefits of revivEARTH metal straws.
revivEARTH Metals straw are an exceptional, eco-friendly alternative to plastic straws. Plastics take eternity to decompose and cause lots of harm to the environment. The various benefits of metal straw make it a better option than plastic straws.
Benefits of Metal Straws
Safety: revivEARTH Metal straws are safe to the ecosystem as well as to its users. Made mostly from stainless steel, they are BPA free. Metal straws are safe as they do not interact with chemicals to pose health challenges.
Reusable: You can wash them on the go and reuse as often as you want. Metal straw can last an awfully long time without having any health implications on you. As most are made from stainless steel, they do not corrode easily.
Eco-friendly: If you finally decide that it is time to do away with your metal straws, you can actually recycle them and they’d become useful in some other ways. They do not pose any hazard to the ecosystem.
But plastic straws release harmful chemicals and fumes right from manufacturing stage. The by-products and disposed plastics pollute the environment and cause devastation to the marine life and ecosystem.
These adverse effects of plastics can be minimized with the use of reusable straws like metal straws.
Easy to clean: You can easily rinse off your metal straw after each use by sipping clean water through it. But if it needs deeper cleaning, most of them usually come with cleaning brush for easy hand cleaning using soap and water.
Better still, you can toss them into the dishwasher and they’d be safely cleaned for you.
Durable: Metal straws are reusable and do not break easily. You can use them for ages. One metal straw can last longer than packs of plastic straw because they are made from stronger material.
Overall less expensive: When you compare the cost of buying use and throw away plastic straws to the reusable metal straw, you will see that metal straws are more cost-effective. For the fact that plastic straws cost the government lots of money to dispose of also makes them more expensive. There is also the life-threatening cost it exposes the environment to.
Help save our environment, use safer materials like metal straws, bamboo straws and tooth brushes.

Yes, bamboo straws which are made from bamboo are 100% natural, safer alternative to the harmful plastic straws we are used to.
Here are some benefits of bamboo straws
To make sure your bamboo straws are kept clean, wash immediately after each use. You can also hand-wash or shake in warm-soapy water.
In addition, always make sure your bamboo straw is dry before storage and store in a well ventilated environment to avoid moisture building up in the straws.
Always use bamboo straw and other bamboo products like tooth brush to protect our environment.

How can we get people on the outside to care if they don't care already? Maybe spreading the word means looking like a spectacle while walking through your neighborhood with multiple bags full of trash and recyclables hanging from your Camelbak.
That's what I did this fine Saturday. I took to the streets of my neighborhood, returning to a construction site that I had previously found absolutely littered. I was armed with four bags, which I knew would not be enough to put a dent, but it's a start. On my way to the site, I picked up trash along the sidewalk and came upon an empty lot that stole my attention. My bags were already filled before I was even halfway through the lot. I guess I know where I'll be going on the weekends to come.
I hope that the importance of being eco-friendly continues to gain awareness in media and social media alike. If there are going to be people who continue not to care, who continue to consume plastic water bottles day after day, drink after drink, who continue to throw trash out of their moving vehicles, who continue to buy plastic wrapped in other plastic, then I'm going to make as little waste as possible to compensate. In fact, we all only have control over our own actions. I can't convince everyone of the importance of the environment; I know that full well. I can keep my negative impact on the environment small and positive impact as big as possible by cleaning up.
This is why I have changed how I shop for groceries entirely. If it has plastic packaging of any kind, I don't buy it. Try it and you will be surprised at how limiting this is, even in the fruit and vegetable section! I use reusable produce bags and reusable grocery bags. I started a worm compost and feed them all of my organic scraps, which is pretty much everything that I buy now. I use revivEARTH shampoo bars and conditioner bars exclusively and revel in the fact that my hair is softer than ever and that I will never consume a plastic bottle again.
I challenge you to make small changes like these, at a pace that works for you. Whatever we accomplish individually really does make a difference. We all add up, people. Let's be on the positive side.
