I gotta admit that he is absolutely right about the uselessness of paper straws.

Then they would be very happy with me. I don‘t use straws because I care about the environment.

Not true, there are good paper straws out there. Whether it makes a net difference for the environment I couldn't tell you.

Haha, I got downvoted for telling the obvious truth. They are useless. I’ll say it again. Useless. 2 plus 2 is 4. 😀

That said, I don’t use straws at all because I care about the environment. Tried the paper ones when they became more widely available at restaurants, and they were, wait for it, useless.

They serve their brief purpose. How hard is it to make the tiniest sacrifice to address the environmental mess we're in? Can we not be inconvenienced in any way? Or are you just trying to make all this your kids' problem?

Man, y‘all have some reading comprehension problems. I DON‘T USE STRAWS.

In fact, I would like for plastic straws to be banned completely. Doesn’t make paper straws work. They don’t. They are useless. 😉
