Seattle becomes first major U.S. city to ban straws

Plastic straw bans to basically nothing to help the environment and mainly only hurt businesses who rely on plastic straws and disabled people who depend on plastic straws

Liberals: "OMG, you can't detain people who are entering the country illegally!! ABOLISH ICE!"

Also, Liberals: "Cops will be giving you a $250 ticket if you use a straw."

I would be ordering cases of straws and spreading em all across the city.

We had paper straws for years and years. We could go back to them easily.

Leave it up to liberals to come up with draconian measures when there is a simple solution.

Banning straws, nature’s natural training aid? Who’s not thinking things through here?

This idiocy could have dire repercussions for oral sex aficionados in less than a generation for crying out loud!

40% of plastics in the ocean are solely from single-use plastics.

I remember hearing on the TV news within the last year or two about a straw being created by at least one kid who was still in school and what made the straw so special was its ability to tell you if drugs had been dropped into your drink. If the product ended up on store shelves which was the intention, does the banning include them too?

God bless you always!!!

In Seattle you do not need a straw to drink a Starbucks coffee.

EPA should stand for "Enough Protection Already"!

Real men don't use straws.

I mean how manly does this look

"The NY Times found that 9-year-old statistician (now 17) who came up with the 500 straws/day figure, and also did some digging on what the real number might be"

It’s pretty wild that the “Americans use 500 million straws per day” number was just an estimate that a 9-year-old came up with.

I mean, don’t get me wrong! We waste a LOT of plastic, and anything we can personally do to cut back is good. But sometimes numbers just sort of appear out of nowhere and get cited until people believe them without questioning them.

Villain in Aquaman movie is a plastic straw.
