David Leonhardt, has been a glassblower for over ten years. He was doing some work for local glass shops when he noticed that the owner had some glass drinking straws for sale. He had never heard of them before and he was always intrigued by things created from glass. He then recognized that this simple item could become a solution to our society’s “plastics-problem”.
Now, it is true that there are much more plastic in our world than just those used to make drinking straws, but keep this in mind “As of March 2008, McDonald’s serves an average of 52 million meals PER DAY! - How many of those served do you think were given a plastic straw?” And then keep in mind that was just from McDonalds, what about KFC, Wendys, Taco Bell etc etc. I am sure that you get the picture!!
