People often talk about swapping out plastic straws for other materials to help the ocean/fish and the environment, but they also complain about paper straws falling apart easily. Other alternatives that are slightly more sturdy like straws made of straw don’t seem very common.
But do we even need straws? My first reaction was that any liquid can be drunk directly from the vessel it’s in, and straws just add another level of convenience. If we don’t want to use plastic straws and the alternatives mostly suck (actually all straws suck 🤓), why not just ditch straws entirely?
Or, they could buy one reusable metal one to last a lifetime.

Aren’t reusable straws difficult to sanitize? I’ve always wondered
No, why would they be? Hot water, same as any other dish
Most come with a little brush to help clean them as well
That metal straw could end up impaling their brain though.
Yeah, somebody else explained to me that they can only use plastic straws for disabled folk
