That anti-straw movement? It's all based on one 9-year-old's suspect statistic

Seattle bans plastic straws, utensils, becoming first major US city to do so
The National Park Service estimates 500 million straws are used by Americans each day.
Seattle bans plastic straws, utensils, becoming first major US city to do so
So the USA Today REPEAT this 9 years old totally wrong statistic and cities are citing these statistics as validation for banning straws!
EXCEPT REALITY!!!!!
Then upon further source validation you find the largest straw manufacturer of the 14 US manufacture produces 22 million straws a day.
The largest produces 22 million a day... Produces! Not consumes but Makes!
Manta has 14 companies under Drinking Straws Manufacturers in the United States

Here is the annual production of D&W also holds the title as the largest drinking straw manufacturer in North America, says Clay Davis, senior vice president.
The company churns out 22 million straws a day – roughly 3,000 cases – in the Fountain Inn plant alone, distributing throughout the U.S. and Canada. D&W Fine Pack’s customers include food powerhouses such as Sysco, U.S. Foods and many national chain restaurants as well as school systems across the country

Now there are 14 manufacturers of straws and the above says they are the largest.
OK>>>>>
Multiple 22 million straws per day times 14 manufacturers equals
ONLY 306 million per day MANUFACTURED
....NOT CONSUMED!
A FAR smaller number than 500 million and remember the MSM and Seattle and USAToday said CONSUMED!
Makes no sense.
