At last, the great
straw reckoning is upon us.
Last week,
Starbucks announced it would phase out plastic straws by 2020, replacing them with a plastic lid that resembles the top of a sippy cup. Numerous cities across the U.S., including Seattle, Oakland, Malibu, and Miami Beach,
have already banned single-use plastic straws. In New York City, a councilman
has introduced legislation to ban straws there, too. And celebrities like Adrian Grenier, who co-founded the
Lonely Whale Foundation,
have been on the #StopSucking grind for years.
