Yee Haw! The Mcdonald's straws are back, baby!

It wasn't an example, it was a bit of agitprop that the entire world has seen and lead to the banning of plastic straws. It's ground zero for straw hysteria. You tried to blend the straw issue with the very real environmental catastrophe of micro plastics, but that has nothing to do with plastic straws and it's a good example of how you can be very easily lead by propaganda.

 

Are you saying plastic pollution in general is not bad?

 

~ That's it... ! Next stores will start giving out plastic bags.
The world will end from plastic pollution ... '

 

I grew up with waxed paper straws and we did not have this to contend with



This is not just A beach - this is happening world wide



You don’t even NEED plastic straws. Just drink straight out of the cup

 

It is not “one off” it is so bad that every time you eat ocean fish you are ingesting microplastics

 

LoL... banning plastic straws in America will surely solve the problem.... amirite? Are progressives aware that nations other than America exist?

 

~ Yes they are. That's where big chunks of our taxpayer dollars go — all to "save the planet from ourselves " ...

 

Not just America and not just straws

We are “encouraged” to bring our own bags when shopping AND no plastic knives and forks (personally I hate the wooden forks but…….

Soooooo. Where does THAT leave your “poor picked on America” diatribe?

Are you aware of a group called the “United Nations”?

Really? Does it?

 

Uh no...I said pretty much the opposite. I said microplastics were a real environmental problem; not McDonald's straws. That's simply idiocy.

 

And what did I say in this thread about micro plastics?

 

Greenie rules are amorphous. They hate paper straws because they use nice green trees. But they hate plastic straws because they mess with the environment. What it amounts to if you are not a greenie then they hate and want to ban everything you do.

 

So..........polluting the Earth makes your Dr. Pepper taste better? Or did you spooge your shorts over "owning the libs?"

 

That summation sounds a little hysterical.

 

Yeah, something like the Green movement.

 

~ If you use that plastic straw you are destroying the planet . Shame on you ..!

 

Is it possible they are now using biodegradable plastic or somesuch?

 

Or a paper straw wrapped in plastic...

 

How about a plastic straw wrapped in paper?????

 

Finding a plastic McDonald's straw is like discovering a rare collector's coin in the bottom of your pocket. When the straws first went to paper, people were grabbing them (the few remaining plastic straws) up and selling them like collector's items.

If this plastic straw was a goof-up, I should go to McDonald's again and grab as many plastic straws as possible because they could be worth a lot of money!

 

However straws are part of the problem

 

So you are collecting them then?

 

Shrugs ours are wrapped in paper

 

They never left where I am.

 

Because the microplastics YOU generate accumulate in my gut, too.
