Biodegradable straws ? ? a satisfying spit into the cataclysmic wind

[Random]

My plans to develop a biodegradable straw were felicitously scuttled by finding them online. That’s a defeat I will take, with hopes it might do even just a little to slow the growth in the trash heap growing in the Pacific.


But then Trump and Bolsonaro spit back at us.

There were wax coated spiral wrap paper straws when I was a kid. I don't recall a wrapper. Milk shakes were thick back in the day, straw would collapse if you sucked on them. Had to use straw like a single chop stick till shake warmed a bit. They don't make shakes like that now so old school straw might work fine.
