        I feel like it's easier to wash the surface of those vs the inside of a small tube (straw). But honestly you're probably right, there's worse ways to get germs.

        No straws! We don’t need more plastic in our landfills and oceans! You don’t need one anyway!

        Agreed, but we also don't need a law telling us so.

        I agree! The government shouldn’t make laws like this. Peoples demand or lack of something should change the use.

        But if the law exists because of people's demands, then isn't it a success? You know, "by the people, for the people"

        Over straws?? No that’s for the supply and demand to dictate.

        Paper straws would be cool. However, feel metal straws, would present the same mental problem for me as drinking directly from the glass.
