You may have noticed that many cafés and bars are no longer giving out plastic straws, with most turning to paper instead.
However, if you're looking for something a little more permanent, this metal straw could be the thing for you.
The FinalStraw (we know, genius!) is a metal, fold-up straw that's BPA free, dishwasher safe and fits into a tidy box you can keep on your keys.
The mission of the company is to “reduce plastic straw use by giving people a convenient, collapsible, reusable alternative”.Reduce waste with this collapsible, reusable straw ?? pic.twitter.com/ZavDqYzgUr

Man, at first I thought “why would I buy this?” Then I realised we’ve basically killed the planet with plastic straws so this is an ethical purchase. https://t.co/Khmpy2VW1Z
