Even though they are necessary for most disabled people so because of being barrier-free some caf\u00e9s will have to keep some in their inventory \u2013 in an environment friendly form.<\/p>\n<p>But why do we need straws? I\u2019ll present it for you with an easy example, a personal experience: about six months ago I was at a conference where they didn\u2019t have any glasses for disabled people and I thought that I\u2019m not going to embarrass myself by using a straw, I\u2019ll drink out of the ceramic mug. For the sake of ease I always keep my bag in my lap. Needless to say that after my attempt neither was I nor the stuff in my bag thirsty anymore under the pretext of drying on the radiator.<\/p>\n<p>Inhibited people or people in wheelchairs are not only unable to move their legs but usually they can\u2019t use their hands in all aspects. They\u2019re missing the skill of lifting, squeezing, or they have muscle weakness but there could be many reasons that makes them unable to grip or lift a glass. However, you need to drink.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless the mass produced unrecyclable straws are expired. We don\u2019t stand by them either. But there are great alternatives: washable plastic and metal ones, degradable ones. These are not only environmentally conscious \u2013 the kind we like \u2013 but also appropriate for disabled people as well.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how born at the same time people-, and eco-friendly solutions!<\/p>\n<p>(Thank you Roland Balogh!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It might be strange that we support straws when every respectable restaurant is withdrawing those environment damaging tubes.
