#13: Plastic Straws Suck
Personally, I’m a big fan of paper straws. We produce so much plastic waste that just gets thrown away, and adding plastic straws to that pile is completely unnecessary! There are alternatives! You can use a paper, metal, bamboo, or glass straw! You can just drink straight from the cup! It’s not hard, we all do it in our kitchens every day!
However, that being said, I will be the first to admit that paper straws get less useful the longer they are in your drink. So plastic straws suck because they’re adding more litter to our already polluted earth, but they do suck up liquid. Paper straws do not suck because they are not as bad for the environment, but they don’t really suck up your drink. Just drink straight from the cup. It’s easier.
