1. Save the planet one straw at a time.You’ve probably heard that plastic straws are on their way out (Seattle is the first major U.S. city to flat out ban them), but this doesn’t mean you have to give straws up altogether. Biodegradable and reusable options like BIKO Bamboo’s Natural Bamboo Drinking Straws can help curb our dependence on wasteful plastics and ultimately modify the way we consume.These straws make a great replacement and are more durable (in my opinion) than the paper ones. Or, if you prefer, you can also opt for the stainless steel variety.
