I don't see many people carrying their own anodized titanium straw as part of their edc but it's honestly been a game changer for me and a great conversion starter with clients, waitresses, and dates. Easily the best addition to your kit in the $100-200 range.

If used at home, they're ok, but pretty much negligible when it comes to muh environment
If served at a restaurant and thrown away there, they'll still be thrown away with all the other plastic and burned.

Only in California and other similar liberal-run establishments. Everyone else knows its stupid as fuck.

Also, I dive and NEVER have seen a sea turtle with a straw in it's nose, I can almost guarantee some "activist" shoved it in there to make a "point" for the trend. Trash patches? Absolutely, I've seen those, and they are nasty as fuck. But turtles don't just shove shit up their noses. That shit screams human plant.

Stuff like this is very common. Some vegans went to the Philippines and paid some poor farmer the equivalent of a years pay to torture some of his pigs on camera. Then the vegans use the video as proof of animal cruelty. You also have brown people glueing garbage to wild animals they catch so they can make tiktoks were they clean them.

plastic degrades very slowly, 50+ years. paper is much faster. hence, it fucks up the planet less.
paper straws let you to apply suction to one end to move liquid from a glass into your mouth. similarly, plastic straws let you apply suction to one end to move liquid from a glass into your both. hence, the two accomplish the same purpose.
