Utensil Set with Case - This set is uber stylish
and planet friendly. It has a knife, fork, spoon, and chopstick set all in a
nice carrying case. You can carry it to school or work with a lunchbox or keep
it in your purse or car for use at fast food eateries and cafes that might
otherwise give you plastic utensils.
Glass Straws- There's more to these glass drinking straws
than elegant good looks! Hand made from borosilicate tubing (the strongest glass
commercially available), these fancy drink straws are without a doubt the
strongest, most durable suckers out there. Great for hot or cold drinks, they're
both dishwasher and microwave safe (should you be the type who likes to
microwave your straws). Each time you use your glass straw, one less plastic
straw ends up in your landfill.

Light my Fire Spork Set - BPA Free!! These sporks are a far
cry from the disposables you've come to know. Where the original version
features a combined fork and spoon, neither of which worked all that well, this
smart spork has a full-sized spoon on one side and a fully functional fork -
with a serrated cutting edge - on the other.

Reusable straws were first introduced as means to combat
and limit the number of straws being thrown away and wasted.
Reusable straws started with bamboo, then metals, and not surprisingly, reusable
straws made from fiberglass are now being sold worldwide. Straws are actually
fun to use. Reusable straws cannot be nibbled, twirled or ponged and yet the
some find it wise and smart to acquire personal reusable straws. Reusable straws
allow you to sip on hot chocolate or coffee, unlike the conventional plastic
straw that we have been used to.
Glass reusable straws are both microwave and dishwashing friendly and they are
usually purchased with a lifetime repair and warranty for replacement. You can
choose from plain clear straws or a set of colorful ones that usually comes with
a cleaning brush for hard to reach areas. Bamboo reusable straws originated from
Laos, it was introduced during a trade fair and the unique characteristics and
appearance of bamboo straws made it highly marketable for collectors and funky
consumers. The only problem is that, they are difficult to clean and are prone
to mold accumulation, hence when using reusable straws made of bamboo; it is
advised that it be covered with water and vinegar solution to kill any known
bacteria that may attach to it during and after use. Stainless reusable straws
are what you see in industrial offices used by employees to enjoy their
smoothies, frappe or frothies. They are sleek and sassy for those who find the
coldness of steel a perfect match for their brain freezing slurpees.
