When it comes to recycling, being eco-friendly, and reducting chemicals and toxins in our lives sometimes it is the simplest things that can make a biggest impact. At the same time, sometimes those simple things can be fun and beautiful! I started a while ago trying to eliminate plastic containers from my home because of the toxins and chemicals they leach into our food. But, who would stop and think about their plastic straws? Do you know that plastic straws leach those same chemicals and toxins? And, what do you think happens to them when you throw them away? How many plastic straws do you think you throw away in a years time? I admit it’s not something I would normally be thinking about. But, now that I have went there, let me tell you about a BEAUTIFUL must-have solution – Glass Dharma Glass Straws!
Glass Dharma is doing their part to help the environment and there is no mistaking that their glass straws are simply gorgeous! But, before I tell you about the straws, let me introduce you to this amazing company.
About Glass Dharma
GlassDharma’s mission is to create world-wide awareness about single use plastics and how damaging plastic straws are to our environment. Glass Straws provide an alternative that eliminates the need for straws made from plastic. Their focus is to do what they can do and what they do best. Single use plastics are not only one of the biggest contributors to plastic pollution, it is also one of the easiest issues to remedy – at least when it comes to stopping the pollution. Cleaning up what is already there is another topic for discussion. Their company’s focus is on drinking straws.
You may be thinking a few plastic straws never hurt anything. But, stop and think! We have literally millions of people going through the drive-thru ordering cokes, tea, etc. – all being served with a plastic straw! And, what about in our homes? Being someone that uses straws on a daily basis, I was guilty of buying packages of straws for our home. Now imagine all those plastic straws piling up in the landfills! Yikes! Not a pretty picture is it? And, not a good legacy to leave for our children and grandchildren!
Glass Dharma Glass Straws: A Beautiful Alternative to Plastic Straws
I start each of my days with a smoothie. Not only are smoothies quick and easy, they are also a healthy way to start the day! I enjoy my smoothies while I make a to-do list of things I want to get done for the day – or is that a list of things I WON’T get done? 
Is it my imagination or does the glass straws make the smoothie taste even better?
If I need to take my smoothie on the go, the Glass Dharma glass straws fit perfectly in my carry mug! It’s so much nicer than using a flimsy plastic straw!

They look so pretty and I so appreciate that they are better for the environment.

Thanks for the Fantastic Review on Glass Dharma Glass Straws are a Fun, Beautiful Way to be Eco-Friendly! #Review #ChristmasSK15! I have wanted to get some of these glass straws forever! With the 4 kids, we go through way too many straws. I started buying paper straws, however, if they sit in a drink too long, they are no good! I really love the glass straws with the dots on them! It makes them look so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic review, all the pictures, and your personal and professional opinions, Plus the recipe on the smoothie with all of us! I honestly do appreciate it! Thanks again so much! Michele
I am getting rid of all plastics in my kitchen. Love these glass straws, they are beautiful and much healthier than those toxic plastic ones.
I love smoothies with berries, full of antioxidants. I always buy the organic berries, and have them in the freezer all year long.
Those straws are so cute, I really want one.
I love glass straws and Glass Dharma makes these really nice big wide ones for smoothies.
I’d love to try a glass straw. I love glass, I don’t think it’s being used enough. If all the food products packaged in plastic was packaged in glass, people could recycle the glass or use them in projects. Plastic is reused less than glass…at least that’s how I see things. Also the recipe sounds great, I’ll have to try it sometime.
I think these straws are beautiful as well as eco friendly,
I love that they are eco friendly.
I would so use glass straws for my tea! I really like that they have straws to clean these. I have some that look the same I wonder if the sizes are comparable.
