'Smallest effort can bring about change' 💪🏻 . . Did you know? 🤔 The idea of drinking straw came about 5000 years ago from ancient Sumerians society who are known to brew beer. 🍺 They used a submerged long, thin tube made from precious metals into jars in order to reach the liquid sitting below fermentation byproducts. Clever huh? 👍🏻(source: @natgeo) . . While we can't deny the invention of drinking straw has brought about so much comfort in our lives, the problem that's also been created by plastic straws (or all other types of plastics) can't be ignored either. 😭 We're so used to the one-time usage convenience that we forgot the effect it's giving to our beloved Earth. 🌍 . . One of my new resolution this year is to be more mindful of this issue. I've been trying to replace one-time use of plastic straws & opt for reusable straw more often nowadays. 💕 Got myself this cute & affordable rose gold metal straws with a casing from @wanderlustthings . ✨ The set have 2 metal straws & a cleaning brush so it's been so easy to carry & clean everywhere I go. Not a fan of metal? You can also opt for bamboo or glass straw, available for purchase on their website! 😍 There are a lot of other eco-friendly products available as well! . . Its definitely hard to change. 😅 I do admit that sometimes my forgetfulness does cause the old habit to take over but I'm still giving myself a pat in the back for trying. I am not gonna stop either 😎 As the sayings go; the first step makes up half the journey! What about you? . . 📸: @suekyu #thethinkerbelle #wanderlustthings #metalstraw #ecofriendly #savetheearth #plasticstraws #banplastic
