What percentage of US landfill space do plastic straws occupy?
Even if they occupy just 1%, how is that a bad thing if they reduce that number?

I'd like to see how close to + or - 1% it is.
I'd bet anything it's way far to the lesser end of 1% (like much much less than 1%). And that's not even accounting for what JUST Starbucks is responsible for.
In other words, it's likely all but a completely meaningless gesture.
Again, if this is something they really want to do, fantastic. To act like it's some grand action that will serve to solve anything at all is not really thinking anything through.
