Ooh….I have wanted these for a while now & would love to win. I make a green smoothie every day loaded with spinach, cherries, chia seeds, banana & almond milk…and it must be consumed with a straw. I use plastic ones right now (boo)

Glass straws are such a great idea! I just can’t wait to try them!

The website says they’re made of the same material used to manufacture Pyrex – borosilicate glass – but Pyrex is not indestructable. Glass straws and children worries me. I would opt for stainless steel instead. I have some and they’re great.

I got mine at a store nearby, but they are also sold online:

Great idea! I have a 7-year-old who uses straws at home. She would LOVE these as she is always reminding us to “go green”!!

I sit at a desk all day and straws are the way to go to get my hydration. I drink lots of water and smoothies. I try to consider the breakdown of petroleum based products into my food and drinks. Particularly since I drink distilled water and it can leech the petroleum out of plastic. Glass is much better for the environment too.

What a fantastic idea! My son used to have some hard plastic reusable straws that he loved using but I had a bad feeling about the plastic and about how well they could really be cleaned and threw them out. He’d love these.

These glass straws are awesome! I love that someone has taken something so wasteful like plastic straws and transformed them into something great. I’m one of those people that hates throwing them away when I’ve only used them once. Yes I admit, I wash my plastic straws and reuse them. Some people think I’m strange, but it makes me feel better to reuse whatever I can…and I think they’re strange! I never even thought about sucking up little bits of plastic when I use them…there’s always something isn’t there!. Now I definitely want some of these glass straws cause I won’t feel right about using my plastic ones anymore and when my daughter gets older, I won’t want her to use them either.

I’m not a fan of giveaways. I rarely try for them. However, this time, I’m trying not for me, but for Mother Earth.

See – I’m addicted to drinking out of straws. I put them in my smoothies, my kombooch, my vegetable juices, my coconut water – everything! Currently I carry a box of plastic ones IN MY CAR. That way, I can drink out of straws all of the time.

Sick, I know.

I do clean and recycle my used straws. However, the best thing for the planet would be if I used glass straws. Due to strapped funds, they remain on my wish list.

Hence – why I want to win.

These look great! I’m a new college graduate with a lot to pay back and very tight budget. I’ve been doing everything I can to eat healthy and cheap. These would add the enjoyment of my meals and help protect my partner and his little brother who lives with us. Thanks so much!

I would love to win the glass straws because I hate the taste of plastic and I am on a really tight budget.
