Starbucks Bans Plastic Straws, Winds Up Using More Plastic
This article is rather cranky and make two assumptions: 1) that plastic is often trashed, not recycled, and it assumes that we will never fix that. 2) exemptions will not be made for people with disabilities.<p>Also, would compostable straws be an option? (assuming they do not end up in the landfill, and only distributed on demand to reduce waste).<p>Fast food better fix itself, or we will end up demonizing the entire industry, for its abundance of litter all over the place and subsidizing the cleanup.
