Luckily where I live the plastic never went away.

Also, literally everything else is plastic. cant they use hemp or something? The problem is plastic straws cant be recycled the way a lot of other plastic can. Assuming people are recycling of course plastic straws are too small and get missed by the machinery that separates recycled items. Same reason youre supposed to put the cap back on cartons before you recycle them --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ <cite>TheGoldenEel posted [p:975374977] in You know w...

And this isnt even some personally disputable thing like it makes the drink taste weird to me. Were talking about structural integrity here. Paper straws break down instantly is a straw(heh)man you've chosen for your disingenuous argument based on the hyperbole of one or two people. Over the course of a fastfood meal some of them break down. Over the course of a longer meal a lot of them do. Over the course of watching a movie at the cinema all of them do. Long before that they start breaking off into the liquid and in general they feel uncomfortable and make the beverage taste worse. They were literally invented by Satan and North Korea. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" <cite>DeadBankerDream posted [p:975374998] in You know w...
