The idea for 4theturtles came from a viral video that showed the rescue of a sea turtle. What seemed like a long parasite that was embedded in the turtle's nostril turned out to be an ordinary plastic straw. Something that was used just once by us quickly turned into a source of immense pain for our neighbors in the oceans!
How many single use consumables are we discarding every day? How do we keep our earth and our neighbors' homestead free from so much trash? Let us start with our straws. Stop throwing things away after one use and choose environmentally friendly products. Keep our earth clean and safe.

Notes:
Straws:
- Made with high quality Pyrex. Still, please avoid rapid change in temperature (e.g. freeze when it's hot) to prevent the glass from breaking.
- There is a risk of breaking under sudden change in temperature or heavy blow; if you discover a crack or the glass is broken, please stop using it immediately.
- The straws are made with GLASS. Improper usage may break or ruin them.
Brushes/knife/carrying case:
- Please avoid use in very high temperature. Keep them dry when not in use.
- The knife is included for cutting the seal tape often used for bubble tea. It is tiny - so remember to put it back in the case!
