Starbucks is a very popular resteraunt, and they are taking a stand in ocean pollution. they are stopping the use of plastic straws and lids, and are replacing them with biodegradeable ones. This may seem like not a very big impact, but every little bit counts. A way that you could help is by not using your straw and/or encourage local resteraunts to stop buying and serving plastic straws. not all straws are bad for the enviroment. paper straws, and metal and glass reusable straws are fine. just because cutting out your use of plastic straws helps the world, doesn't mean not using any straws at all. Unfortunatley, plastic straws are the most common. Starbucks is doing a really brave and great thing by using biodegradeable items.
