Here's the secret they don't want you to know: You don't need to use a straw at all. Forgo the lid and voila! You've got a cup!

Bamboo straws are nice, metal straws are the best, and they might look super nice.

I’ll seriously never understand the need for a sippy straw.

: Quand j'étais petit, les adultes ne buvaient pas avec une paille, c'était que pour les enfants au restau ou à des anniversaires.

I never had this issue with a paper straw.

la paille a même des couleurs françaises

There is no good reason why we don't have good straws from natural materials consumers wouldn't differentiate to plastic ones.

It's so little material development and so much lobbying & a bit of logistics issue.

Conservatives back then: "If you need a straw to drink, you're a baby!"

Conservatives now: "If I can't have my plastic straw, I'll literally cry!"

It’s a cup, take off the lid and drink

I like the noodle ones! They stay strong for hours then you can just throw them away or crush them. Not sure if they’re actually noodles but they’re similar.

I am also team, "It's a cup, use your mouth, drink from the cup". No use...no waste.

You shouldn't use paper straws because the glue holding it together contains carcinogens, which you then take into your body as you suck down your drink.

Admittedly, killing yourself is very green, but should probably be avoided.

I really like those lids where the front opens as you tip it, and closes when you put the cup on the table. No straw needed.
I wish they weren't plastic though, not seen a biodegradable version yet.

How do we feel about metal straws? I like the taste
