I Gave Up Plastic Straws and Now I’m Helping the Environment AND Saving Money with Every Sip I Take—All Thanks to EZSipper!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past five years, you’ve probably heard that a lot of companies are banning single-use plastic straws to try and fight pollution.
I have to admit, when I first heard about it, I thought it sounded kind of silly.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love animals and nature! I may not be a full on “eco-warrior” or anything, but I recycle AND compost, I take the bus to work, and I even started switching my lightbulbs over to LEDs.
But I use plastic straws pretty often. I have sensitive teeth, so I need a straw when I’m drinking anything really hot or cold. I’m also kind of a germophobe, and I don’t like the idea of wrapping my lips around a cup or bottle that someone else has touched.
I just didn’t see how getting rid of straws could make that big of a difference, so I kept on using them… until they started disappearing!
Straws Were Vanishing from All My Favorite Coffee Shops and Restaurants!
Everywhere I went, plastic straws were disappearing! Some places were replacing them with special sipping lids, and some were asking customers to carry their own reusable straws.
Seriously? I remember when reusable straws first started popping up on social media and they just seemed like such a hassle.
I couldn’t help but wonder—was all this really necessary? I mean, how big of a problem could little straws really be causing? Since this plastic straw ban clearly wasn’t going away, I decided to find out.
So I did a little research and quickly discovered that plastic straws are actually a HUGE PROBLEM.
In the U.S. Alone, 500 Million Plastic Straws Get Thrown Out Every Day!
Even though straws are made from recyclable material, they’re too lightweight to make it through the recycling process, so most of them end up in landfills, or even worse, the ocean. In fact, THERE’S A LITERAL ISLAND OF PLASTIC TRASH floating around the ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch!
“Plastics don’t ever degrade, instead they just break down into smaller and smaller pieces called microplastics.”
Plastics don’t ever degrade, instead they just break down into smaller and smaller pieces called microplastics. Animals confuse these plastics with food and get poisoned or choke to death. You’ve probably seen that horrible video of the turtle with the straw stuck in his nose!
But it’s not only bad for animals, it’s bad for us!
The kind of plastic used in straws is filled with BPA, a chemical that causes all kind of health problems, including cancer. Those chemicals end up in the food we eat and the water we drink.
Turns out I should have been more worried about the chemicals in my straw than the germs on my cup!
Entire Cities Have Banned Plastic Straws – Including New York, Seattle, and Miami Beach!
Now that I know how terrible plastic straws were, it’s obvious why they’re getting banned. And since they’ll be gone entirely soon, I decided to jump on the band wagon and get a reusable straw.
There are hundreds of reusable straws options, but I’m here to tell you, EZSipper blows them all out of the water. Here’s what’s so great about it:
- It lasts forever! It’s made of stainless-steel and that means it won’t rust, rip, or wear out, no matter how much you use it.
- It’s safe for you and the environment. EZSipper is 100% BPA free and it’s also naturally antibacterial, so you don’t have to worry about germs!
- You can use it for hot drinks like coffee or tea! It won’t melt like other straws and it comes with silicone mouthpieces to protect your lips.
- It’s super easy to clean! The kit comes with an extendable pipe cleaner brush and the case has a built-in strainer to rinse it out after.
- You can take it anywhere! It comes in a little steel tube carrying case that fits in your pocket, purse, or backpack.
- It’s really sleek and stylish! Who says you can’t look good while you’re saving the planet? I feel like a sexy spy every time I pull it out.
There are other kinds of reusable straws, but most of them are really impractical.
Compostable straws aren’t much better than regular plastic straws. They’re only designed to break down in a compost facility. If they get into the ocean, they’re still very dangerous.
Then there are paper straws, which are bio-degradable, but they get soggy and dissolve in your mouth (yuck!) so you have to keep buying more.
Silicone straws are handy because they can fold up small, but they’re nasty to clean out because they’re one long piece and they also wear out over time.
“If you make the switch to EZSipper, you’ll be personally keeping 584 plastic straws out of the ocean every year!”
EZSipper is the only reusable straw that’s affordable, easy-to-clean, and lasts a lifetime. It’s also the most environmentally-friendly! If you make the switch to EZSipper, you’ll be personally keeping 584 plastic straws out of the ocean every year!

The ban on plastic straws is only ramping up – even giant companies like Starbucks and McDonalds are getting rid of straws entirely. Now’s the time to make the switch to a reusable straw and EZSipper makes it easy!
I was a little hesitant at first, but now that I have my EZSipper, I can’t believe I didn’t make the switch sooner. It’s healthier, cheaper, and it feels great knowing that I’m helping the environment.
EZSipper is a real crowd pleaser too. I see people staring every time I pull it out at the café. I’ve had several people come up and ask me what it is and where I got it.
I tell them all the same thing I’m telling you now: “It’s the EZSipper!” And you can only get it from their official website here.
If you’re ready to ditch single-use straws, then now’s the perfect time, because they’re having a HUGE sale! I’m going to buy a couple more for my friends (they make great gifts!) and you should get yours too! They’ve been selling out like crazy, so don’t miss out!

I wanted to stop using plastic straws and this was exactly what I needed! Love that it came with a case and pipe cleaner. I use the angled tip 99% of the time, but it’s nice that it comes with a straight tip too, just so I have the option.

Only had mine for a month, but I’ve already used it dozens of times. It’s crazy to think about how many plastic straws this is going to save from going into the garbage. Feels good to help the environment!

Now that I have a straw with me all the time, I use it on everything. Coffee, juice, soda, smoothies – everything tastes better through a metal straw. And you can screw the pieces together to fit any kind of bottle or can. I LOVE IT!!
