How many unwanted straws are going into landfills in California?

Over or under the number of unwanted fetuses?

Straws do contribute to wrinkles around the mouth (lesser version of what smoking does) - so there's that...

We legitimately just need to send all the crazy people to California. Most of them live there to begin with, but just send the rest. Kind of like the Brits did to Australia.

We have, by far, the worst politicians. It's like they don't realize who pays their salaries. Jailing and fining for giving someone a straw? Really!? Who is going to monitor and enforce this? All you have to do is make plastic straws illegal. Most restaurants would gladly hold back on straws as it saves them money anyway. They already have to ask if you want a glass of water.

I'm glad you asked...

quote:

Eco-Cycle is unable to provide any data to back up this number, telling Reason that it was relying on the research of one Milo Cress. Cress—whose Be Straw Free Campaign is hosted on Eco-Cycle's website—tells Reason that he arrived at the 500 million straws a day figure from phone surveys he conducted of straw manufacturers in 2011, when he was just 9 years old.

I'm not clicking this link but I'm assuming its from the Onion.

No one can be that stupid. Not even California's ignorant inhabitants.

at this point I’d be good if when they build the wall, they run it up the state line and keep Califorina on the Mexican side.

Any excessive sucking contributes to wrinkles around the mouth per that article

"repetitive sucking may cause or exacerbate wrinkles on the lips or around the mouth."


Every wife and gf just screenshotted that for future reference

FYI, plastic straws are an environmental disaster. I quit using them a year ago. Of course, I know all the "I could give a shite about the environment" Trumpet dolts will now downvote me. I will take that as a badge of honor.

Yeah, and then about 20% of the U.S. economy would go with it. You Trumpets are idiots.

So you really don't know that hundreds of millions of plastic straws are tossed into the garbage (and thus landfills) each week in the U.S.?
It's common sense, really. Of course, I know a "could give a shite about the environment" Trump dolt like you couldn't care less.

every comment ending with a specific political jab does not help your cause for discourse
