Since nowadays most merchant is reducing the usage of plastic straw, I decided to take up the No Plastic Straw campaign using reusable stainless steel straw. Due to my horrific experience in drinking A&W rootbeer float without straw last 9 January 2019.
I immediately order my stainless steel straw that instance. Received it safely today.
It comes in a set of 4 pieces:
1) From Nestle. Article published last 15 January 2019.
Nestle next month will start to drop plastic straws from its products and is working on biodegradable water bottles in a drive to reduce plastic waste, it said on Tuesday [1].
Nestle said it was collaborating with US-based Danimer Scientific to develop a marine biodegradable and recyclable bottle for its water business, and with PureCycle Technologies to produce food-grade recycled polypropylene, a polymer used for packing food in trays, tubs, cups and bottles [1].
2) From plasticpollutioncoalition [2]
The Last Plastic Straw and Plastic Pollution Coalition are building momentum around a worldwide movement, so plastic straws become a relic of the past. In the short term, we work with our Coalition to encourage eateries to no longer automatically give plastic straws; we educate individuals to refuse plastic straws and spread the “straw free” message; and we work to change local regulation to stop this unnecessary plastic pollution.

TAKE ACTION
Level 1: Make a personal commitment to say "no" to plastic straws. Whenever ordering a drink, politely request “no straw, please.” Encourage your friends and family to take the pledge, too!
You've got more power than you think. Want to take your impact even further? Use your own paper, glass, bamboo, or stainless steel straw instead, and start a conversation.
Level 2: Reach out to some local eateries in your neighborhood or town and ask them to change their protocol to only serve straws upon request. Simply leave these informational cards with your bill!
Level 3: Encourage those eateries to make a change to non-plastic straw options – like paper, glass, or stainless steel – if diners do request a straw. We have a business-specific pledge for them to sign, too! Print these table tents for eateries to explain the straws upon request protocol.
Level 4: Host a screening of STRAWS the film in your community to start a wave of change.
For those who are interested to buy this stainless steel straw set, can order from me at sales.pivotsolutions@gmail.com under price RM 20, excluding delivery cost.
Till then, please do your part in supporting the No Plastic Straw campaign for better future of the sea animals and also the planet.
