You wouldn't have to put up with a soggy straw if we tackled the real problems instead.

Why can't we do both? Personally I don't want plastic trash polluting the environment.

I think this attitude gets the the heart of the problem. When it actually comes to lifestyle changes it suddenly becomes someone else's problem.

Ban throwing them into the environment, then. I've never thrown my plastic straws into the ocean, that happens further down the line of trash disposal. So why should I be the one who's punished for it?

I don't as I do not us straws at all. Point of banning plastic ones was not to create paper ones.
