I do use a straw in my 30-oz Yeti during the day. I don't know why I ever started doing that but, you know, I do dispose of them properly.
I quite frankly, don't like the media, the government or ANYBODY telling me that I am not adult enough to properly dispose of them.

Straws in the hands of their legal rightful owners is a good thing, I support plastic straw ownership. I may have used just 1 straw in the past year.

I and several others have posted blogs about this ridicules action John Bear . The 500 million straws was a number given by a 10 year old and the media just unquestionable ran with it.

I have not used a straw since I was 7 years old. Can't stand them, never use them. I drink from the cup/glass/mug or bottle.

I like drinking out of a straw though they say it gives us women those pucker lines around our mouths. That alone should be reason enough to give them up.

Malibu went full retard and banned plastic straws. One of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. Are we supposed to carry around straws now with our reusable bags. Such over reach and insanity. Inmates are running the asylum here!

We have straws that are re-usable and so I'm not throwing them away! That's my take ... and I'm sticking to it!

I don't remember the last time I used a straw. That being said, I do know though that others need straws (for physical reasons) - so I think straws should be made in another material instead of plastic. No need to get rid of them; just change them.

Can't say I've given it much thought. I have no straws in the house and can't remember when I last did. Rarely drink anything with a straw in any event.

While on vacation in Maui in June I noticed that most straws that accompanied both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were paper and not plastic. I see it a the beginning of a new trend.

I hesitate to put my lips to the rim of the plastic cup with the unsweetened ice tea. It is a sanitation thing for me.
So, when you are compelled to save the planet, just image whose lips caressed that rim before you arrived.
We get to see flu spread faster than ever experienced before. Just like the Sierra Club has managed to burn down California, there is very likely to be foreseeable consequences with abandoning long established sanitation practices.
