@sjw the excuse is that straws are the worst because they're tons of tiny pieces that are the optimal size to choke a sea turtle. It's not about reducing net plastic use, it's about not generating the worst kinds of plastic waste, a cup is less harmful.

Fuck that bullshit though, paper straws are awful.
>For every paper straw that dissolves in your mouth, 5 indians shit in a plastic bag and throw it into the river.
