> I suppose if they ever went to paper straws where I live, i would just have to order a personal metal reusable straw. I suppose that's the sound of the system working. Certainly I note use fewer plastic bags since they started charging for them, though I have also thrown away quite a few broken, much, much thicker, bags and bought a lot more small bin bags since then. But neither the straw or bag are anywhere near a major contributor to plastic use, though I can see plastic bags certainly were a major litter source and are much less often found in hedges now.
