Plastic was invented just a little over 100 years ago - that's fairly recent in the timeline of the human race, let alone in the history of the world. Our ancestors sure lived without plastic for a long time.

Why have we become so dependent on this material which is inarguably bad for our planet?

Plastic straws bother us. Billions of these nasties are used and thoughtlessly discarded every day.Alternative bamboo straws are the only 100% from-nature option in reusable drinking straws. Handmade from whole bamboo, you are literally sipping from nature.

Using wholly natural products is a connection to nature that is hard to come by, and a little meditation on a conscious way of living.
