What about the paper straws we all used as kids?
Yeah. Riiiiiiight!
I’m a denier, but I carefully separate my trash. I suspect it all goes to the same landfill anyway!
Instead of glass straws, with with Osama “voters” will injure themselves, and subsequently sue, if plastic straws are that evil, why not just ban straws altogether and make people drink with their face.
Clarice Feldman over at American Thinker declared 2014 to be the “Year of Peak Stupidity.” Seems 2015 is off to a great start, however.
Glass straws...let the lawsuits begin. Lawyers the world over are salivating over that invention.
I always liked the way glass bottle parts would decorate the beaches in the carribean (st. Vincent) It seemed appropriate for the glass to slowly be ground back near it’s original home.
Why not have thick plastic straws? If the point is to reuse them it’d be cheaper than glass and longer shelf life. Also not likely to be broken and injure someone.
Environmentalists... Always looming for a half added solution to a minor problem.
how in the world did humanity survive before the invention of the straw? wasn’t it impossible to drink?
Aren’t glass straws used to smoke crack? Remember when McDonald’s had to redesign their plastic coffee spoons because addicts were using them to cook heroin?
Surfers go stuff it up your backside!!!
I deal in antiques and old stuff.
I once came upon a box of old medical items. One was a box of what looked like glass straws. They were glass catheters.... the edges were not smooth.
OUCH..
Paper or Plastic? Kill a tree or choke a fish? Ho and Hum!
BS.
I goggled that line and it appears to be another "factoid" that the left likes to use, w/o any source to justify it, just like the "97% of scientists agree that man is causing global warming".
Corn-based plastics are biodegradable but are more expensive than petroleum based plastics.
I remember when straws were made of paper, sacks also. Then came the movement to save the trees...
Glass.
Straws.
Actually, glass straws SHOULD be a law.
But only for liberals.
Then I can smash the head of every glass-straw user I see, into the table.
They will have a 10% chance of surviving the glass shard removal surgery.
“Billions of pounds of plastic can be found on our beaches and in the oceans”
Sounds like a resource to exploit- if we can collect it and recycle it, imagine how much oil we could save!
A series of floating Eco-cities seining plastic from the oceans, making it into useful polymer again, inhabited by Eco-conscious activists (who would be out of our hair for a while).
The renewable, biodegradable paper grocery bag was one of the 1st victims of liberal political correctness.
more leftist insanity
Green idiot paper straws work just fine so if you have a problem with plastic coated paper....
Ive been to Bali.. they do some odd things.. like sell gasoline in recycled Absolut vodka bottles... you see them at ever store.. seem absolute vodka bottles are perfect 1 liter.. just right for all those little motor scooters you see everywhere also... but why absolute vodka bottles I have no idea
