ELi5: How did plastic straws specifically become targeted for eco-friendly banning, but similar disposables like plastic forks and spoons didn’t?
In: Culture
I think because you really dont need a straw. For many foods you need a fork of knife of spoon to consume whatever it is but i cant think of any drink that you cant just drink out of the cup instead of using a straw. I for one despise plastic bags, single use containers and plastic cutlery and plates etc. I try to bring reusable wherever I go and even for those big gatherings seek eco friendly alternatives. We actually spend the extra spend the money on palm leave plates. I hope for the day where everyone has a picnic basket in their car with reusable everything concerning food. Bringing your own dishes and cutlery to large parties would be an awesome cultural norm. bio degradable take away containers should be mandatory, plastic bags illegal.
