        Thanks for doing something about it. Last week I visited the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, FL, where injured sea turtles heal and then returned into the wild. Such a great place! @LoggerheadMC https://www.marinelife.org pic.twitter.com/Fgtk8JxJ4C

        Ban plastic straws but don't ban murdering innocent babies! See how ignorant that statement is!

        My daughter has autism. Some foods and liquid requires plastic straws. We cut them up then throw them away.

        And what alternative did you offer those with disabilities that need to use plastic straws?

        While I believe my Congressman could make better use of his time for his district this is a positive step in the right direction, just an easy base hit, not far reaching enough. Do you remember paper straws? They'll work except for milk shakes.

        Paper, metal, or silicone will work for some but not for all. I'm all for a reduction in plastic use too but not to the point where the disabled are affected

        Great. All for it. Now what can we do to motivate grocery stores to discourage use of plastic bags? Or provide alternatives?

        Months of blood, sweat, and tears to get that measure passed I’m sure! How about something meaningful out of you for the 9th? If we could be so presumptive to think you work for us.

        I didn't know throwing your plastic straw in the ocean was a thing.
