Glass Dharma Reveiw and Giveaway Ends 11/30 Closed

It's super easy to use and throw away so many things without even really thinking about where the plastic is going to end up, but I have really been trying to reduce the amount of plastic that my family and I unnecessarily waste. We have used plastic straws just about every day in our household and the amount of plastic we have been sending to the landfill is staggering. Using something once and then throwing it away to sit in the landfill forever just doesn't sit well with me anymore. One little change that would make a considerable difference in the amount of plastic sitting in our landfills would be to replace disposable plastic straws with reusable glass straws. Considering this, I found Glass Dharma, the original glass straw. Cheryl from Glass Dharma was kind enough to send me four glass straws for my review. She is also offering one Sampletrain member a $25.00 Glass Dharma Gift Certificate.

I received one Ice Tea Glass Straw with the Amber Dots (9.5mm x 9") This straw is an all-around size that works well with most beverages.
The colored dots add both fun and functionality. Used to color code your drinks (or just plain decorate your place setting), they also keep your straw from rolling off of the table or counter. Available in all 4 diameters and 6 colors: Red, Green, Blue, Amber, Clear and Black.





I also received one Beautiful Bend (9.5")
Style at its best, the Beautiful Bend has a grace all its own. Slightly bent to “reach” for your lips, this straw is slightly longer and has the same clarity and sparkle of the rest of their straws. The perfect accompaniment to the well stocked beverage bar.



I received one Simple Elegance Straw (12mm x9")
Designed for the average 12 - 16 ounce glass.



And, I received one 7mm Red Dots Sipper Straw.



I also received two cleaning brushes for the straws. The cleaning brushes have stainless steel handles with medical grade nylon bristles.
Stainless Steel will not rust and ensures that your brush will be there for you for years to come. And the medical grade nylon bristle only adds to the quality of all we have to offer.



I really like all of these straws. I like how these straws don't leave the taste of plastic in my mouth, have a life time guarantee against breakage, are dishwasher and microwave safe, are easy to clean and are helping to lessen the impact of plastics in our landfills.
