Trump Pushes for Plastic Straws, Citing Paper Ones as "Useless"
ai generated text
US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order reversing a policy aimed at phasing out single-use plastics from federal operations, including paper straws. The Biden-era policy, which aimed to eliminate single-use plastics by 2027, has been effectively scrapped by this move. Trump has expressed his dissatisfaction with paper straws, stating that they "don't work" and "break" and "explode." This decision has been met with opposition from environmentalists who have long campaigned for an end to the use of plastic utensils, including straws.
Enjoy your next drink without a straw that disgustingly dissolves in your mouth!!!
It's a ridiculous situation. We're going back to plastic straws.
I don't think that plastic is going to affect the shark very much as they're eating, as they're munching their way through the ocean.
These things don't work, I've had them many times, and on occasion, they break, they explode. If something's hot, they don't last very long, like a matter of minutes, sometimes a matter of seconds. It's a ridiculous situation.
It really is something that affects ordinary Americans in their everyday lives.
The world is facing a plastic pollution crisis, and we can no longer ignore one of the biggest environmental threats facing our oceans and our planet today.
