In the summer of 2018, a day at the beach transformed the life of John Weil. It was a local beach that brought plastic waste to his attention.
The amount of straws on the ground waiting to float into the ocean left a lasting impression.
With a drive to make a difference and limited resources, John invested everything he had into the business.
This was the day that it began...
John began at local farmers markets spreading the Sand Straw movement one person at a time. In the beginning, having to jump from one market to the next.
Today, Sand Straws are used by thousands and the movement has spread across the U.S.
This company is a continuous reminder that every straw makes a difference!
