The Last Straw

California’s proposed law could be the last straw for some, especially if it’s plastic.

This recent bill would make it a crime for restaurants to serve plastic straws unless a customer specifically requests one. Because landfills are suffering from the proliferation of such “one-time use” items, two cities have already implemented “straws-on-request” laws.

Although tough to swallow, such a law could cut down on the alleged “500 million straws… used in the U.S. daily.”
