    IMO we need to ban plastic from anything that can be easily replaced without plastic. Even though it may be a rounding error, it’s something that should be simple to say no to and to correct.

      When they come up with a good replacement for plastic straws, definitely. Again, I’m not in any way trying to say plastic isn’t bad for the environment.

        I carry a metal spork and metal straw in my edc to avoid using plastic ones. Not for everyone, but I like to think it does a little bit of good.

        Both paper and plastic straws contain PFAS, which is unbelievably harmful to your health and the environment. The good alternative is to get a metal straw.

        There are plenty of good biodegradable options which don’t completely suck, they are just more expensive.
