Our mission is simple:
to stop plastic waste from entering the ocean, one sip at a time.

We’re here for juice vendors, smoothie lovers, café owners—and the fish too.

FACT CHECK!!!!!
The Problem with Plastic Straws
500 million plastic straws are used daily—many end up in oceans.
They take 200+ years to decompose, breaking into microplastics.
Ingested by marine life, they harm ecosystems—and can enter our food chain.
And Paper Isn’t Perfect Either
Most paper straws are coated with plastic or glue—making them non-compostable.
They get soggy, discouraging use, and often end up as trash.
Some contain PFAS (forever chemicals), linked to human health issues.
