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.
You can get a stainless steel straw and travel utensils to keep in the glove compartment or in your purse if you're a lady. You can survive this. It should have happened a long time ago.Yes, it does. Manufactured is identical to consumed because all straws are one-time use.
Let's get rid of straws and also plastic bags. Sooner is better. I'm up for it.
NO it is NOT the same! How many straws are in the packages in the stores right now?
How many straws in your house? RIGHT NOW???
For example in McDonalds' alone every day there are left over every night a number of STRAWS! NOT consumed!
With over 50,000 fast food places each having say 1,000 straws left over from night to night that means there are 50 million straws NOT consumed!
WRONG WRONG WRONG.
I'm excited. I don't know why you're not. Are you a plastics manufacturer's heir?
The "plastic patch" in the Pacific is the size of Texas.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a collection of plastic, floating trash halfway between Hawaii and California, has grown to more than 600,000 square miles, a study published Thursday found. That's twice the size of Texas.
Now let's assume there are say 6 gyres... Gyres are large systems of circulating ocean currents, kind of like slow-moving whirlpools like Pacific.. and contains the same size, i.e.
600,000 square miles or 3,600,000 square miles of the oceans.
How many square miles of Oceans are there? he oceans cover 141,600,000 square miles, or 72% of the earth's surface. www.reefnews.com/reefnews/infopage/oceans/ocean.html
what percent of square miles have garbage based on 3.6 million square miles? 2.5%! Wow... let's get excited!
Probably not, Oldy, just a knee-jerk against 'Regulation', the idea that the Govt should interfere with the Corporations' march to higher profits, regardless of the damage being done to our children's future.

You do not really understand how manufacturing works do you? They make enough to cover what they sell and a small amount more. If they were not being consumed at that rate ,they would not be making them at that rate.
Also, did you miss this part...22 million straws a day – roughly 3,000 cases – in the Fountain Inn plant alone,
Probably not, Oldy, just a knee-jerk against 'Regulation', the idea that the Govt should interfere with the Corporations' march to higher profits, regardless of the damage being done to our children's future.
You never going to win against the Big Straw Industrial Complex.
Just look at the Crazy Straw Corp and thier evil ways. Children are their main market fer fecks sake.
Well frankly Kat.... the PP is working on that with 323,999 abortions were performed in 2014, according to the organization.Aug 1, 2017Why just straws?? Let's rid ourselves of poopy baby diapers!

Yup.. you are right. So let's say then being just as expansive as the 9 year old boy was that this company manufacturers 44 million and the other 13 manufactures half that. I can do that as these are all hypothetical right? So between the 44 million and the 143 million the other 13 plants do that still is less then 200 million straws. I'm as close as the 9 year old kid who called the manufacturers who SAID THEY produce and he converted it to CONSUMED!
You just did. Chuckle...I wont get sucked into this story

Actually a plastic straw weighs..
about one sixty-seventh of an ounce or .42 grams —Science Says: Amount of straws, plastic pollution is huge
So let's agree 300 million straws a day or 4,446,012 oz or 277,876 lbs or 126 METRIC tons per day or 46,018 METRIC tons.
So how many tons do the experts say per year?
Well experts tell us that Every year, 8 million metric tons of plastics enter our ocean Plastics in the Ocean - Ocean Conservancy
Hmmm plastic straws assuming 300 million a day make up a little more than 0.58% of the 8 million metric tons.......
Is that a big deal or what???
Yes, it does. Manufactured is identical to consumed because all straws are one-time use.
Let's get rid of straws and also plastic bags. Sooner is better. I'm up for it.
You just did. Chuckle...I wont get sucked into this story

Why so much wood?
Well there’s a liberal solution just waiting for one of their lunatics to discover. All the city of Seattle government bureaucracy has to do is buy every single sucking-age resident a $9.00 set of straws. Obama phones, Seattle straws...two peas in a pod.
$8.69 for 8 stainless steel straws.
