Summer is fast approaching in many parts of the world, and refreshing drinks are swarming in bars and restaurants. Most of them are served with a straw, which most often ends up in the garbage after use.

Fashion for this type of decorations came to us from overseas, where it developed in the 1980s.

The topic of plastic pollution of our planet has been raised many times. Environmentalists sound the alarm - tons of plastic flooding the world degrade the natural environment, kill animals living in seas and oceans, and end up in the human food chain through the back door. Microplastic  is in the food we find on our plates, in the water we  drink , and even in the salt crystals we use in the kitchen.

The exact date and place where glass was invented is a mystery. It is known, however, that as early as four thousand years ago our prehistoric ancestors in Mesopotamia discovered that by heating sand with ash, you can obtain a hard, translucent material.

And although yerbomos is called a yerba thermos, you should bear in mind that it does not keep the temperature of the drink as long as a...
