Honestly I don’t give one shit about the paper straws. I wonder if the people who don’t like them let their drinks sit for hours and chew on the straw till they’re soggy. Every paper straw I’ve had has lasted the length of time it takes me to drink the drink.
Still banning those things but not fucking everything else in the supermarket that is packaged in plastic is such a massive and stupid waste of everyone’s time and effort. Such an imperceptible inch forward they almost deserve no praise at all.
It was a surprisingly fast change, to the extent that I wonder if they weren’t planning something along those lines as an industry wide PR stunt or lobbied industry takeover already. Or maybe paper straw machines are just really easy to setup.
It does show that widespread lasting change is possible. Even if it’s just a single step, we won’t get anywhere if we stop taking them.
