We all have concerns about our world we live in today and how we can make it better for our children, our children’s children and so on. I know I do. Although I have concern and hope for our environment I will be the first to admit that making changes in our everyday life and things we use do not always come easy.
Well thankfully there is Glass Dharma! The company that creates handmade glass drinking straws right here in the US! Glass Dharma makes beautiful, smooth drinking straws that are better in more ways than one than disposable drinking straws. A straw is one small step that creates a spiraling thought process toward other reusable items. Together, Glass Dharma is making a difference that greatly impacts our environment!
The picture above shows Glass Dharma’s many beautiful straws. They offer so many sizes. One for every drink you could think of! They are dishwasher safe, durable, and safe for children too. BEST PART, Hassle-Free Lifetime Guarantee Against Breakage! I know that this is a company and product that I can trust. Glass Dharma also sells cleaning brushes and soft hemp sleeves but **Please note that cleaning brushes do not automatically “come with” all Glass Straw purchases**.
I was sent 1- Decorative Dot 7mm x6.25″, 1-Simple Elegance 12mm x 9″, 1-Decorative Dot 9.5mm x 9″, 1-Beautiful Bend 9.5mm x 9″ and 2-Cleaning Brushes (1/8″ and 3/8″) to conduct my review and I know that my family and I will NO LONGER, EVER buy disposable straws again. EVER! They make us feel great especially knowing that we are making one small difference to our environment. We really do love them all but we have our favorites. My husband and daughters favorite is the 12mm Smoothie straw, and my favorite is the 9.5mm x 9″ Beautiful Bends one. They are very simple to clean and care for. I highly recommend the cleaning brushes.

I recycle anything that can be recycled. If I’m out and I see garbage on the ground I always pick it up. It’s horrible what garbage gets in the ocean and then the sea life eats it. After I saw a video of what’s inside a sea gulls stomach I promised myself I’d never litter and pick it up if someone else did. Thank you for the chance 🙂

I’ve wanted to try glass straws so this would be a terrific chance.
