        put a deposit back on all bottles like their once was. Cities should ban plastic bags. All items given out with fast food need to be biodegradable. Enough of waste and pollution!

        We can always go back to paper straws. That’s what they were made of before plastic.

        Great story-how much change & sacrifice are required on the part of the consumer plays such a particularly important role when it comes to encouraging a new behavior. To foster sustainability we've got to change the environment to make the sustainable choice the easy choice!

        Those plastic cups are made of the same plastic the straws were. Realize this straw hysteria was started by fakenews months ago as well. Smh.

        OMG... People get upset over the most ridiculous crap. Like you really need a straw anyway. They were made so you could drink more faster and therefore buy more. Get over it already.
