Starbucks is going strawless.
The coffee company announced Monday that it will phase out plastic straws from all of its stores by 2020.
The changes will help Starbucks (SBUX) eliminate more than 1 billion plastic straws per year, the company said.
Plastic straws contribute to ocean pollution and pose a danger to marine life. Some governments have begun banning them.
To eliminate straws, Starbucks is transitioning from the flat, plastic lids that require them, to ones that feature a raised lip you can drink from. The new designs have drawn comparisons to an adult "sippy cup."
Frappuccino drinks will still be served with dome lids, but with straws made from paper or compostable plastic. Coffee drinkers who prefer straws for other beverages can request the new eco-friendly versions.
Some Starbucks drinks, like cold brew with cold foam, are already served in cups with strawless lids.

Next, they’ll come for the cups. Will Starbucks be the first to go BYOM (bring your own mug)?
I never understood why they changed from paper straws
Imagine that paper straws. They were in abundance in the 60s, what comes around goes around.
Typical, knee-jerk leftism.
They eliminated coffee a while ago..................
How really nice. Unisex bathrooms. Free coffee for whining blacks. Unemployment for Whites who follow the rules. Free flophouse for the indigent. And now no plastic straws.
Insane liberals. I hope to read one day “Starbucks to declare bankruptcy.”

I've used these. They work fine for me. Besides, it's a private business and can do whatever they want - I really don't care. If it succeeds it succeeds; if not, it doesn't.
The trees! We must save the trees!..............
When are they going to eliminate coffee? And who drinks coffee with a straw anyway?

Pouser juice in sippy cups for grown-ups. How fitting.
What’s a Starbucks?
Single Use plastic is a real problem. Even though the biggest polluters are in Asia, that stuff gets carried around the world by currents. I don’t want it in on my beach.
Probably not too many drink coffee with a draw. But I often get their ice tea.
So, as a Starbucks customer, I guess some Freepers can throw me into a basket of deplorables.
That’s fine.
Use milkweed stems. They bio=degrade readily. And the residual juices will cure you of ever sucking starbucks again.
They probably discovered that their staws were getting used by the welcomed homeless. Until we start incinerating plastic, we will continue to find plastic washing up on our shores. Mostly the rich areas have recycling centers. All other garbage gets dumped into land fills or the recycled plastic gets shipped to ....wait for it....CHINA. It then gets dumped into land fills or rivers which feed into the ocean which comes back to the US shores. Incinerate is the best solution.
Oh yea, Starbucks is getting rid of the straws but the earth is laced with those freaking green plastic sticks!
