How do we feel about metal straws? I like the taste

When my grandma died last year I found a still closed bag with real straws. Made of plastic. Like two hundred or so. Now my kids get one every once in a while and get told to cherish them because those are the last we are gonna get.

I still have a drawer full of them and I wash them until they wear out ~~because I'm gross~~ because I hate how cold the metal straws get when they're sitting in ice

Plastic don't age well be careful, I throw out an old pack of straws cause it was breaking in small pieces, I guess my kids had their dose of micro plastics

Actually plastic straws are the best. They can be recycled. But stupid people are throwing them away into ocean. Who is guilty in that? Big corporations and governments who don't want to recycle trash properly.

Because trash is being dumped in unsafe ways. Or just put into the ocean because it is cheaper. You can export trash to SEA and they put it in bad quality dumps that get flushed into the ocean when storm season strikes.

Fun fact: in my area, straws can only be recycled at the "Center for Hard to Recycle Materials," and even then they have to be separated out from all other plastics. You can imagine how that affects the rate at which they get recycled, I assume!
