I understand the desire to save the erf but we can't realistically get rid of all single-use plastic items. We can work on cutting down on waste but not this.
Now parents are going to need to remember to pack straws with all the other stuff they carry around.
After all of the sturm and drang to remove paper towel dispensers out of restrooms to switch to air blowers to dry our hands ...

Apparently air blowing your hands is worse and they are removing the dryers and paper towels are back.
Do you know what straws were made of in in the 19th century? Pasta. I’m certain that biodegradable pasta straws could be made with current technologies.

Insane.
I’m so sick of the virtue signaling. Last summer, my wife and I did a 14 mile hike on the beach in Michigan. saw some trash, some stuff that clearly washed away in storms and not one plastic straw. Not one.
When I was a kid straws were made of paper.
