    Banning plastic straws puts us in danger of unearned self-congratulation. Sure, ban them, but also protect the sea from trawler fishing, or figure out a renewable energy economy, or tax carbon enough to reduce emissions significantly | @CNNOpinionhttps://cnn.it/2ELO6HU

        Yes ban plastic straws. We don't need them. It's a start. We need to start using reusable ones.

        What happened to paper straws? I’m old enough to remember that.

        It may not solve the problem of plastics, but it has certainly helped to raise awareness. It is a start that has got many people thinking about recycling and how they can do their bit.

        Instead of belittling potential progress, why not support it and support the next item. How about you actually report on climate change daily instead of showing "both sides" and representing deniers.

        Banning Straws is only one step - a lot of urgent action needs to be taken in the next ten years if they hope to prevent this.pic.twitter.com/rRk4c8dcP6

        You’re so kind. For those who don’t know, paid trolls insult people like me for trying to get the truth out. #Bullying and #Censorship at its finest. On YouTube: What in the world are they spraying? Why in the world are they spraying? Frankenskies #chemtrails #geoengineering

        Yes, indeed, as plastic straws are only part of the problem. Banning one part will only leave the rest with little, if any, regulations to begin with.

        Don’t downplay what good such a big company is doing. You’re taking part of the problem with false/non-journalism. Congratulate and push for bigger and better. #StopBeingAThirstTrapCNN #PromoteTruth #EducateThePublic #NoMoreOpinionPieces
