I throw my trash away, would you believe, in trash barrels. I recycle when it is the right thing to do. I am willing to bet you do too
We'll be at 30 trillion in debt in another decade but golly gee, we won't have plastic straws |

There are 9 billion tons of plastic going in the ocean each year. It is calculated that there are 8 billion straws on the world's shorelines. They aren't recyclable, they aren't necessary, there are alternatives. The ones you use might end up in the trash, but there are 500 million used per day in this country and lots of those don't get in the trash and lots that do still end up in water ways. It is a simple fix to a major problem.Much easier than fixing the budget. I do trash them but I also haven't used one unless it was put in my cup without asking me in probably 20 years. I worry more about the affects of plastic on marine ecosystems than I do about someone's straw for their cup of Sprite.

My personal favorite is how they want to change the voting age to 16 because kids are so much smarter these days, but want to raise the smoking age to 21 because kids just arent that smart at 18  |
