Governments’ war against plastics and disposables does more harm than good
Plastic straws wrapped in paper and plastic forks are seen at a food hall in Washington DC on June 20, 2019. - "How do you drink a milkshake without a straw?" The city of Washington has decided, in the name of the environment, to ban plastic drinking straws -- an act viewed as almost sacrilegious in the birthplace of this simple but seemingly indispensable part of daily American life.In the last century, millions of straws were produced in the Stone Straw Building, a stolid-looking structure of yellowing brick in a residential neighborhood. The building now houses the capital's transit police headquarters. The only visible sign of its historic character comes from a discreet commemorative plaque affixed to a wall above a garbage bin that honors the memory of Marvin C. Stone, "Inventor of the Paper Straw." (Photo by Eric BARADAT / AFP)ERIC BARADAT/AFP/Getty Images
