“If a straw isn’t required for your drink, join with us in this worldwide movement and commit to skipping the straw which is only a small step that will go a long way in protecting our species.” said the announcement made by Bandos. 

Bandos had previously switched over to reusable glass bottles in order to reduce the usage of single-use plastic in the resort. They also produce their own water in their own drinking water facility.
