    Compostable garbage is still garbage. In a landfill it doesn’t decompose properly and causes methane, which is worse than CO2.

    Point is, the whole thing is stupid unless we do proper composting. So I kinda get byo-straws.

      You heard it here, throw your biostraws into a ditch!

        Yes!

        Except most of those are only compostable in industrial compost settings. Side of the road isn’t hot enough.

      What about a noodle shaped into a straw? Even if you toss it out the window at least it’s biodegradable.

        Just hand out twizzlers for everything. Double points if you can bite the ends off and then jam it into the cup for the customer before handing it to them.

        Saw in an Italian LIDL, noodles repackaged as straws. Didn’t try them but they should taste terrible, especially with hot drinks (and lethal for celiac people)

          I tried them once, liked them. Ate them after using them once, as it is impossible to keep them from rotting in the long run. They were just a bit too expensive, though, so I probably won’t repeat that experience.

        As long as it goes out the window and not into a landfill, that’s good
