However my comment was referring to those people who are buying bags of single use plastic straws. I thought that could be a solution to their problem.

For the real hippy types there is bamboo straws and in Vietnam some locals are making straws out of some water reed. LOL,on that last one,make sure they're clear of leaches and other undesirables.

brian1 Posted August 21, 2019 #28 Share Posted August 21, 2019 It isn, t just Asia.We live a 5 min walk to IMO one of Europes best beaches.The local Italians dump plastic bottles,bags and cups everywhere.This month the "sophisticated" Northern Italians descend on our shores and it's bloody worse.I remember the UK being like this 50 years ago before all the campaigns and education.Don't get me talking about dog poo,lol.

The coroner said "metal straws should be used with caution." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
