    A restaurant I frequent switched to paper straws. I couldn’t stand them, but I didn’t complain. Thankfully, they switched back within a month.

    I am old enough to remember--not using the new catch phrase, I really am --when there was s lot of cans and bottles along the side of the road. Iirc it may be one of the original reasons my state adopted the bottle bill. People are not responsible and I don't want to have to look at their fucking trash. Looking forward to more and more states doing it. Also expanding the types of containers. When it started there were not as many single serve containers being sold. They need to include all of those that have come along since the programs started.

    Learn to drink like a grown up. Nothing personal but really people, a reduction in straws used would be a good thing.
    Suck it up-haha

    True, but even if its half, they are a problem, like most of our trash. We do need answers to this trash issue. We make lots of it.

    People managed with paper straws for a long time.

    In fact, somehow people even manage to drink, get this, without a straw!!

    Up to more than $400 in redemptions in less than a year from my Saturday and Sunday walks. Redeeming them at the local Bottle Drop is a piece of cake, takes about 15 minutes at most. A "free" breakfast for the three of us about once a month.

    Using a straw is better for your teeth if you drink pretty much anything other than water. I've been meaning to get a metal straw.
