“They tested straws made of CDA, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), paper, PLA, and PP. In the weeks the straws were submerged in the tanks, the CDA, PHA, and paper straws degraded by up to 50%, projecting environmental lifetimes of 10-20 months in the coastal ocean. The PLA and PP straws showed no measurable signs of degradation.”

This is the way.
I give paper straws back and take extra plastic straws from Chick-fil-a.
Rollin’ with plastic straws is practically a war crime in my country.
