This makes so much more sense I never understood the hype with removing plastic straws, at least in America. From personal experience the amount of plastic straw waste is not very big. But they do cause significantly more damage to sea-life than other forms of trash. Asia on the other hand... that's another story. Especially China. Having been there many times, can confirm people tend to care less about recycling & trash. I have not been to the Phillipines. The government is not stable though. So it makes sense they are on this list too.
