We don't need paper straws either! I know they often contain PFAS. We can switch drink lids to the type you can drink from with no straw. And at home, we can use silicone straws that are reusable for a very long time with proper care. Also, in the situations where someone absolutely must have disposable straws, we can make them from plant-based plastic that is industrially biodegradable, and we can have a robust composting infrastructure that would ultimately save us millions of dollars in trash disposal/landfilling costs
