Its to make sure you carry your own straws

I fuckin hate the paper straws, they dissolve in like 5 minutes.

We have to pretend like forcing ourselves to use shitty straws will prevent Asia from dumping their plastics into the Pacific.

We also drive electric cars with batteries made from environmentally damaging nickel mines.
Eat organic produce with a larger carbon footprint.
Grow water hungry avocados in a desert.

We're real big into irony here.

Scientists recently did a study and found out that plastic straws teleport into the ocean after use. The only effective means of keeping them out of the ocean where turtles will put them up their nose is to not use them at all.

Wouldn't work. The vacuum from space would seep down the chimney into earth and the earth would become a vacuum.

Maybe don't rely on sissy sip sticks and you won't have a problem. You drink beer with a straw?

I travelled through India the other year. They dispose of their garbage by bringing it out to the kerb and setting it on fire. After seeing that, and realising that's the majority of the world, I realised all the paper straws in the world aren't going to do jack shit.

You know what would be better? The western world switching to a plant based diet. And I'm no vegetarian - I fucking love meat, but I understand that eating meat is by far the worst thing for this planet.
