Approximately 0.015 gallons of oil are saved when you recycle one pound of plastic straws. This is because recycling plastic reduces the need for virgin plastic production, which requires the use of oil as a raw material.

What can you make with straws?

Making geodesic structures would be interesting. Build all of the 3 dimensional forms. One thing that can be done with straws is to make laminated water! Take a metal one pound coffee can and cut a hole for a water hose and install the right fitting. Put in several metal can area sized screens at the inlet end the put in as many straws as fit. Another screen to hold the straws in. The coffee cans plastic top cut out to its sealing edges holds it together. This makes streams of clear water that can even carry light. Works best with high pressure water and a tighter seal.
