Topic	Starbucks' straw ban actually uses more plastic

The big problem is, they aren't marked as to what plastic they're made of. They essentially have to treated as #7, which is basically a "lol, i dunno" catch-all. I never understood this argument, anyway. So many cities do single-sort recycling, so why does it even matter? It gets sorted somewhere, just not at the bin. I'm pretty sure most recycled shit ends up in incinerators/landfills anyway, because it's cheaper and uses less energy. It just makes people feel good. I am, too, which is another reason why this move by Starbucks is worse for the environment than literally not making any changes whatsoever. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:905009598] in Starbucks'...
