I don’t get the argument. paper straws are terrible and certain drinks are meant to be drunk with a straw. the biodegradable fiber ones are a good compromise.

That cruise ship burns a gal of fuel every time it moves a foot. It’s all about what makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I’m not sure how many sea turtles get hit with their massive props? Pretty sure they dump their shit once out of US navigable waters. That being said I can see paper straws on cruise ships as reasonable.

Plastic getting in the ocean might be a problem in China or Brazil or wherever but I don't see it as being a major issue here. Plastic straws don’t break down, and because of their small size they don’t make it to the recycle bin. Paper straws biodegrade in 90 days. Not to mention health issues from hormone changing compounds in plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ship can dump just about anything 50 miles off any coast.Nothing oil based, toxic,ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Do you remember the plastic six pack rings were going to kill all of the ducks. 30 years later, we still have six pack rings and plenty of ducks. I do my part and only buy 12 packs. I do it for the ducks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had glass milk bottles and glass pop bottles, pop was 5 cents a bottle and was a candy bar. Milk was delivered to our home by the Milkman.
