Climate debate over folks. "Kinda neat" trumps destroying the environment every day of the week. If they were just "sorta neat" or "not really neat" we could ban them, but putting a few hundre metric tons of plastics into the waste stream is a reasonable tradeoff when you're at the level of "kinda neat".
I kid, of course...kinda.
Straws are a rounding error and a scapegoat when it comes to climate debate.
