Rising ocean temperatures lead to coral bleaching.  This puts our magnificent Great Barrier Reef under stress, and shatters ancient ecosystems.  

Marine heatwaves are a regular occurrence and add to the pressure from fishing waste, plastic excess and overfishing.  Choosing to use a stainless steel straw is a positive step in the right direction.

Trusting who you give your heart to - love fades, plastic is forever...

Climate change, driven mainly by burning coal, is heating our oceans and threatening delicate marine ecosystems that have evolved over millenia.  

The rapid change in ocean temperature is beyond the scope of evolution - so species adapted for particular conditions fail to thrive.  

Choose to Refuse Plastic

Making considered personal choices and choosing to reuse and refusing excessive plastic helps slow the destruction of natural habitats.

Marine sanctuaries and fish regeneration zones help ensure sustainability long term for our precious ocean animals and plants.  

Australia can lead the way protecting our endangered marine life simply by becoming more aware.  Your choice to say no to plastic straws is not just a symbolic gesture.

Choosing to reuse your stainless steel straw has a real impact on fragile marine habitats across Australia.  Our oceans are not an endless resource, able to be mis-used without a lasting impact on our turtles, dolphins and endangered sharks.  

Zero Waste Plastic Free

Australia's oceans are particularly special and worthy of our attention - as we are blessed with the richest, most diverse life on earth.

Token gestures are a thing of the boomer generation>
In 2020 it's time to take action.

Australia's oceans have the most diverse animal and plant populations on the planet.  More creatures call Australian waters home than any other country on earth.  

Deadly accidental entanglement or ingestion of plastic straws is pushing species to the brink of extinction.  Everyday, our plastic waste is causing harm to oceanic wildlife.

2 biggest tips to be a #consciousconsumer.

1 - Know your why - why are your buying something?  Do you really need it?  Are you shopping because you are bored, or out of habit, or to keep up with a trend or your neighbours?

When you pause and question your why, often the delay itself leads to you refusing and not making the purchase.  There's a reason marketers have words like "impulse shopping" "up sells" and "cross sells" - and it is because they work.  You can just shake your head if you find it challenging to say the actual word NO.

2 - Focus on the process, not your progress.  Or, don't allow your idea of perfection hold you back from sharing your good efforts.

Look, no matter how hard you believe in the power of good intentions, your reduced plastic consumption will most likely not result in shrinkage of the great Pacific Garbage Patch.  

We need to stop single use plastic straws.

Plastic Straw Ban Australia

Australia has made some steady progress towards banning single use plastic straws in retail and hospitality outlets.  Plastic straws are still offered and freely available at fast food locations and on the whole the average consumer continues to be comfortable using plastic straws.  But awareness is growing and the trending growth of reusable metal straws and silicone straws supports this.

Our Story in 100 words or less

I came to the zero-waste and plastic-free space after working through lots of personal development.  It was a natural progression to see how unhealthy foods impact on my family's health - and how an active outdoor life is the way to go.

So we sold our gourmet food and wine business and began exploring our options in the health and wellness space.  I trained in life coaching and meditation and was hosting mindfulness walks around national parks - but then stainlesssteelstraws.com.au came along.  We haven't looked back!

Ban Plastic Straws in Australia

“Zero waste is not about complicating your life, but simplifying it. We were drowning in stuff, and I was tired of marketeers, that I had to put a stop to it. So the first step to zero waste is refusing what you don’t need. You need to learn to say no.”

"Minimalism isn't about deprivation. I still buy that expensive Burberry trench coat that costs thousands of pounds because it's great-looking and great value... But I am more conscious of how I spend because I want to be free of physical, emotional and financial clutter. I'm paying attention to the ethos of buying products that are environmentally-friendly and made with fair trade practices. I'm careful about my purchases."
