A more robust reusable plastic straw would be more acceptable than single use disposable plastic straws for people who require them. IMO paper, wax coated or not, is acceptable for a disposable scenario. There are also your steel/aluminum/titanium, glass alternatives, I find those potentially dangerous (i don't want to stab the roof of my mouth or crack my teeth against a metal straw and i don't want a glass straw breaking off in my mouth). Perhaps someone else will come up with an even better alternative (a stiff silicone?) I don't think anyone is saying that we should ban 100% of all straws which are made of plastics, they are more concerned with decreasing the amount of 'single-use disposable' straws made of plastics.
