Straws don't pollute the oceans if you throw them in the trash. Well, unless that trash gets processed badly. Where I live trash gets burned. So I make sure to throw some straws in the river so the sea turtles can do coke off each others backs ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Good luck choking sea turtles by throwing straws in the river. The only turtles you'll choke that way are the river turtles

Where do you think the river goes?

Who cares? out of sight, out of mind.

The river turtles collect the plastic straws and bring them downstream to the sea turtles. Basic nature stuff.
