Has anyone read the article on National Geographic about how much damage straws are doing to the environment. Do not know how to post link but can be googled. There is a push to end the use of plastic straws because the discarded ones are killing so much marine life. I would bet the same people complaining now were the same ones saying not to cut trees and save the planet. Seems like using paper grocery bags would do more than eradicating straws. I wish I had time to worry about the straw and its cruel intentions to the earth.
