Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Really, I need to carry around a straw? Also, America uses 500mil plastic straws per day? That means that every single American (including babies and people at the other end of life) are using 1.5 straws PER DAY? Everyone, every day? Or maybe some Americans really use a lot of straws every day? 500 million straws per day seems a lot higher than I would estimate unless I’m seriously out of touch with how much Americans consume fast food beverages.
Edit: I found quite a few references online to this 500 million per day number. Wow, I must be really out of touch with American fast beverage consumption habits.
