yet Joffreys and San Angel Inn, along with other participants I imagine, offer the recycled straws and they are fine. Disney just doesn't want spending costs, that's all it is. Make the customer have to hunt, ask and plead,,just stupidity.
Not wanting to do this does not mean someone can't afford to do it.
I brought the lids so our drinks did not spill while walking with them. And of course Disney is supposed to be better than this. Tell THEM that.
They had the individual tubes at the CCV cabins when we stayed there last November. BWV still had them as well. But I suspect that they will be slowly disappearing as the stockpile dwindles. They cut ties with H2O last year.
Excellent timing!
Paper straws found to contain long-lasting and potentially toxic chemicals - study

Functional replacements are being developed such as bio engineered barrier coatings where bacteria are fermented and produce PHA internally. The bacteria is then stripped away, the PHA is concentrated then applied in a spray coating to the paper substrate. This product is fully biodegradable, compostable, and marine biodegradable. Starbucks is currently is final trial stages.
Ok, bring it to market and I'll see if it really is. Same has been said about similar products and a boy called wolf long ago so I can wait
Sometimes after a large storm, the water treatment plants cannot cope with the excess water and sewage is released untreated into waterways. This is particularly common in really old places which have their stormwater and wastewater combined in the same system. Tampons and their applicators should never be flushed.
I wonder how long before we learn that the "fermented bacteria produced PHA" is a carcinogen"? Or that they find out that the fermentation process creates some waste product that they thought was inert but is just as environmentally bad as the straw itself?
A few years after we’ve forced this poison into the bodies of hundreds of millions in the infallible name of science.
Why be so pessimistic about it? You seem opposed in principle to the exploration of non-plastic alternatives, which makes no sense to me.
No-one, least of all anyone who’s an actual scientist, is claiming that science is infallible. And none of us is in a position to refer with such snideness to a field of activity whose discoveries and insights we all benefit from hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day.
