๐ŸนNo More Straws In Bars and Restaurants ! What do you think, Yes Or No !?๐Ÿน

in story โ€ขย  7 years agoย  (edited)

๐ŸนThis story was in the news yesterday , that here in Kelowna as well as many other towns which are opting to no longer use straws ! Now its not because their to cheap lol , but its to help save them from the landfill and how bad they are for the environment ! In fact Straws are second only to cigarette butts as the top polluters . I mean , do you really need a straw with your rum and coke !? A lot of people said they just take the straw out and set it on the table . I know I don't use them nor have I ever bought straws at home ! Can you drink a milkshake without a straw !? I do at home , so why do I need one when I go out !?

๐ŸนApparently where restaurants and bars usually purchase their straws , They do not have biodegradeable straws available and if they did , im sure they would cost more money . In America 500 Million Plastic Straws are used per Day WOW !! That blew me away !! Im all for saving the enviroment , we really can live without Plastic Straws ! I can see using the biodegradable ones like in hospitals or care facilities where they are more needed for those with strokes etc .
So what do you guys think Yes Or No !? This anti straw movement started in 2015 but has now spread around world , and in some places it is banned all together ! Heres A Link if you want to read more about this new Trend !

The condition of the enviroment depends on our personal choices. Each person has the influence on our planet. We should have in mind future generations by making wise decisions. I am totally in fond of anti straw movement. 500 million straws a day? That is huge!
