Stop using straws. All together. Plastic, metal, paper, etc. You're a sophisticated adult, not an illiterate child with an inability to lift a small glass.  Just bring the glass to your lips and sip.  Straws are also incredibly lame and sad and kill the world with landfills.

Shampoo bars do all the same work as the liquid stuff that comes in a bottle, but so so much more. Shampoo bars don't require plastic or paper packaging so by avoiding the unnecessary plastic, we reduce or carbon footprint. They are extremely concentrated and provide you with a deeper clean on top of Little or no packaging, and zero waste. on top of all this bar shampoo is easy to travel with as it can double as a body soap. They are easy on the environment, AND the wallet! why not give it a go???
