Worth a shot: Jose Cuervo gives away agave straws

In Mexico, tequila giant Jose Cuervo wants you to make a good decision for the planet even if you make bad decisions after ordering one too many margaritas. 

To help celebrate National Tequila Day on July 24, the party purveyor is giving away packs of agave-based straws. Interested parties and partiers can send their names and addresses to the Cuervo Agave Straw website before September 29. 

Cuervo first began producing the straws in 2019. The company says the straws biodegrade 200 times faster than traditional plastic straws.
