I am all for minimizing/eliminating single use plastics. But when i get served a milkshake in a plastic mug, with a plastic lid, and a plastic spoon, but a paper straw because of "save the sea"...

i just wish we used our brains more.

If you saw how much plastic is used to get that paper straw to you (logistics) you would just drink from the cup

Also paper cups are lined with plastic to stop the drink from running through it, metal cans are lined with plastic to prevent a metallic taste

Oh, i don't prefer using it anyway, it got served with it already in.
