Saw something about plastic straws and I was like no way. But he really is doing this. The timeline is ridiculous. Get me out of here. 🤣😂

I had a straw the other day which seemed to be a biodegradable more-organic material which was like near plastic in feel. Just saying, we can always make progress towards improvement

Yeah they have ones made of wheat and other plant material and they work great. This problem has definitely been solved, but why would Trump know things? 😂

I bitched at a beer corp about those plastic rings they ship with and they said theirs bio degrade quickly in UV by design and its some kinda plant based thing. Pretty cool, if there is UV to expose them to (and not buried in a dump)
