Just think, one day it will be the last straw. The accumulated gargantuan heaps of garbage will tower over the coastlines of this great country and many will look back and say, "If not for the last straw." If not for the last straw indeed we would all be free from the guilt of polluting Mother Earth. It was that las wait what. Sorry it's time for my nap. Gotta go

I agree that the “save the sea turtles” argument in Ohio is silly.
Still, minimizing the amount of plastic in our landfills isn’t a bad thing. Neither is trying to find more biodegradable alternatives for many of the plastic consumer products that inevitably end up in the trash.
I think bans on plastic straws are dumb, but a restaurant asking customers to reuse their straws seems reasonable IMO.

They don't care about the environment, just money and control.

Sounds like there's a bag limit on sea turtles.

ut the Sierra Club tried to keep us from doing it. We never stopped cleaning it, but it was nuts to see those purported environmentalists try to block actual cleanup of the environment.
WTF was the reasoning behind that?
I assume you're talking about Bayou Fountain
I have no idea about the reasoning, but it was Bayou Duplanier. Maybe something about nutria or beaver. I was old enough to help, but too young to pay much attention.

Straws are the latest stupid SJW narrative; in 10 minutes there will be something dumber

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment.
The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days."
The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."
The older lady said that she was right -- our generation didn't have the "green thing" in its day.
The older lady went on to explain:
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.
Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then.
We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day.
Back then we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.
Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blade in a r azor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the"green thing." We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then?

I don't hunt but I do fish. My straws end up out on Almonaster Ave., not the ocean. Address the Asian counties that dump everything into the ocean before you get your self-serving feels by pushing more restrictions on fellow Americans.
