    Can’t wait to help with the Straws movie next week at the aquarium. Hoping to spread the word about single use straws!

    I seem to have deleted my post about my collapsible takeout container. The brand is "Better" and I got a set of three. I did see Target have some similar, but I didn't like the size.
