Former tavern owner, bartender for forty years, with master’s degrees from Ithaca College and University at Buffalo. I started RealStraw to atone for putting over a million plastic straws into the environment. Grown in NY, farm to table, all-natural wheat and rye stems. I founded greenyellowred.org, which delivers (on-line and live) a NY SLA certified Alcohol Training Awareness Program I created.
A short history of drink straws.
Thousands of years ago, people started using wheat and rye stems to sip their favorite beverages. About a hundred and forty years ago, paper straws were invented. After that, plastic straws took over. Then a sea turtle got hurt.
Time to get rid of plastic straws. Let’s get back to nature with all-natural Farm to Table RealStraw drink straws and stir sticks.
