I just hate how fast we reacted to that damn turtle with a plastic straw in its nose and now we will forever suck on moist paper straws for the rest of our lives if we are lucky. But we do shit about the real bulk of the plastic in our oceans. Oh but the cute turtle... We must act now!!!

The world is doomed by greed brothers. We are fucked.

Every time this comes up I have three words to say that seem like a perfect solution and I don't understand why it isn't the default: dry pasta straws.

Compostable, cheap, stronger than paper, even edible if you really want

Yea but what happens if it accidentally breaks in front of an Italian

The good news is the soft plastic bags that turtles think are jellyfish are still getting dumped into the ocean en masse. That’s what you get turtles for ruining our iced latte drinking experience /jk

I dimly remember my grandmother having straws made from actual straw (or something similar at least). I don't remember how well they worked unfortunately

Eh, I had one in a restaurant the other day that actually worked pretty well. It might be a drop in the bucket but it's better than nothing.
