Because they don't work for people with disabilities. They dissolve, they're more easily bent, they're less resistant to accidental biting. They disintegrate even faster with hot beverages.
- proaralyst 7y agoI've heard this argument before, and please forgive me if this is insensitive. Are people with disabilities eased by non-paper straws not able to supply their own? Perhaps steel ones that can be reused many times? I appreciate that allowances for disabilities must be made, but I can also understand that general popular use of plastic straws is harmful to the environment.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoOk, then there's the rest of the objections. Add to this, plastic straws are a trifling fraction of plastic pollution, and the made-up furor distracts from actual important issues.
