Americans use 500 million plastic straws every single day. They eventually end up in oceans and landfills, but FinalStraw wants to change that.

Just $20 gets you a collapsible straw and saves 584 plastic straws from landfills. Thanks to over 20,000 backers, the $12,500 goal was easily surmounted — the total at time of publish is $981,744.
