You've probably heard in the news recently that Starbucks is planning to ditch plastic straws with their drinks by 2020. In 2020? What's so hard about stopping it now you ask? I don't know either. Seattle, Washington has officially banned plastic straws and plastic utensils by food service establishments, which has me wondering how much fresh water they will be consuming by washing all their new silverware they are switching to.
I don't know if you guys are starbucks fans, maybe you are. I know you losers like coffee, like a bunch of weirdos. But Starbucks took a pretty nasty hit after the racial protest that happened not too long ago and they're closing 150 stores this year. So if you're thinking about doing your part for the environment by going to Starbucks, you're buying into their new viral marketing attempt to humanize their corporation.
Let me drop some knowledge on ya.
Scientists estimate that 8.3 billion plastic straws are scattered on global coastlines. Sounds like a fucken lot! Unfortunately all those stupid straws only make up 0.03% of 8,000,000 metric tons of plastic currently in the ocean. You're not going to do shit by opting out of using plastic straws.

Boyan Slat's Ocean Cleanup project went into effect this year, which is the global effort to contain the South Pacific garbage patch, vacuuming up all the plastic, grind it up, and repurpose it into recycled plastic for eco-friendly sunglasses, necklaces, shoes and stuff. It solves a problem and provides free money for the economy. The ocean is much safer now in these hands than it ever has been before.
I'm not saying to take fistfuls of bendy straws from dunkin donuts and start shoving them in the noses of poor defenseless turtles, but next time you get a soda and they give you a plastic straw, throwing a fit at your server about how they're singlehandedly destroying the earth with their stupid $4.50/hr waitressing job is just going to project your retardation on to other people. You can throw your little plastic straw in the trash along with your stupid woke attitude you got from reading the headlines on every online news site ever. Everything is going to be ok.
