    Travelling while going plastic free is a whole other level of difficult. Anyone know of a collapsible travel mug/coffee cup?

      I can’t vouch for any collapsible cups, though there are lots on the market! My go-to for traveling now is to bring 1 insulated wide mouthed bottle with a screw top lid (like hydro flask). I just got the small-ish size, 18 oz I think? Good for water but can also be used for coffee if you need it to-go. I’ve also managed the water bottle + extra coffee mug when traveling, but it’s extra to keep track of.

    Two straw success stories last week:
    • Went to dinner and the server asked us if we wanted straws, but didn't just give them to us (we all declined of course)
    • Grabbed lunch at a restaurant and they had hay straws
    Awesome culture change happening in NOLA!
