    I have started using reusable straws.  The restaurants get very confused when you tell them you do not need a straw.  It has become the norm to use a plastic straw and I'm helping to change that one straw at a time.

      I'm pleased to say that "Water please, no straw" now rolls off my tongue without my having to think about it!  It took about 2 months of saying it 3-4 times a week before it became a habit.  And if the server brings it anyway, I make a polite scene & explain.  So far I've only dealt with ignorance, which quickly changes when presented with information.
