I have never nor will I ever patronize Starbucks, so I could care less what they do, however....I also remember paper straws and paper bags at the stores. I hate plastic bags and wish they would eliminate them too. I saw countless number of plastic bags in tree tops and wrapped around telephone poles and wires all over Florida and Mississippi after the last hurricane.

Then only negative I can remember about paper straws was that the ends would get soggy after a while.

"I never understood why they changed from paper straws"

Because, don't you know, paper straws were made from paper.

Paper was made from processed wood.

Processed wood came from trees.

A tree had to dies just so you could have a straw.

See, that's how it works.

Now oil is causing 'global climate change'.

It is deja vu all over again.

It never ends.

Paper straws don’t last as long as the plastic ones for this insane society that drinks beverages while driving.

We can all remember when cars has no place to put cups.
