coffee is an everyday thing for many people.
Bubble tea is a 1-4 times a year thing for me.
I prefer not to carry a bag.
carrying around a straw is less practical than just not having bubble tea.
- munk-a 4y agoI think that's totally reasonable yea - reusable items aren't environmentally sane for infrequent purchases - if you drink coffee a few times a year it'd be silly to get a travel mug, similar to bubble tea straws. So, on the other hand, if the straw came with a 5cent disposal fee it probably wouldn't significantly impact your purchase.
- mpalczewski 4y agoThat's a good idea, a very reasonable way of doing it. Would be totally fine with an even higher(25cent) disposal fee. Makes no difference to the 4 times a year user, the frequent user gets a reusable straw.
- munk-a 4y agoA lot of Canadian grocery stores now have bag taxes - so a 5c fee for a bag to carry your groceries out in. A lot of people just swallow the cost, but it has led to a pretty dramatic increase in reusable bag adoption.
