What can you do about global warming? Travel less? Carry edible straws?



Paper straws. Picture from Wikipedia

The World Travel Market in London has been promoting responsible tourism for several years.
Now we are seeing increasing numbers of articles on global arming and plastic bags harming wildlife and wondering what we can do which seems fun and environmentally friendly without causing too much time and trouble and adding the feel good factor when we travel.

Clutching At Straws?
I read about a stainless steel straw with a 'chewable' top.
It turns out to be one you chew, but don't eat.

So then I went looking for one you an eat. A Facebook friend said there are edible spoons and forks, so there must be edible straws. Off I went hunting on Google with instant results.
