    Listen, I’m totally down for bioplastic straws. They’ve got a different texture and are far more brittle, but still compostable and lasts more than long enough for me to enjoy my drink.

    I don’t get why customers at my work hate them so much. To the point some will bring their own straws if we don’t have the regular plastic milkshake straws. It’s weird…

      Compostable garbage is still garbage. In a landfill it doesn’t decompose properly and causes methane, which is worse than CO2.

      Point is, the whole thing is stupid unless we do proper composting. So I kinda get byo-straws.
