We're all adults here, right? So we are all intimately familiar with what the bare minimum looks like.When you were in high school, it looked like hitting that minimum word count right on the money.When you're texting, it looks a lot like the letter "k" (we're looking at you, Chad). When you're picking out clothing for work, it looks like grabbing the only shirt that doesn't need ironing. With sustainability, it looks like dipping half of your pinky toenail in the water and NOT USING PLASTIC STRAWS."But, guys, giving up plastic straws isn't going to save the planet or the turtles."Correct. But like our commitment-phobic friend Chad, y'all aren't ready to jump into the big leagues right now. So this is your first baby step, the equivalent of texting the word "here" or honking your horn instead of walking up to ring the doorbell. Also - it's about the easiest thing to give up in sustainable living.The best part? ABSTINENCE ISN'T THE ONLY ANSWER! (simmer down, Chad).There are reusable metal straws, paper straws, even Starbucks is selling reusable straws - and their reusable cups are pretty cute. Let's learn you some straw knowledge. Fun fact - it started about 5000 years ago with beer!Milkshakes, hospitals, metal screws (oh my!), dental floss,  patents (intellectual property is sexy), turtles, and more.Join us. We promise you it is easier than paying your taxes, or having to call to make your own doctor's appointment, trust us.
