Plastic drinking straws ! I've just signed a petition against
plastic drinking straws.

How high do you think they are on the list of the planet's
biggest problems?


Judging by the way they wash up beaches and are ingested by marine
life, I think they belong in the top 10, along with all forms of
plastic waste (teabags, coffee cups, sandwich cartons, cook-chill
food trays).

Ah. I thought the planet's top 10 problems contained things like a
billion people in poverty, huge numbers of deaths from diseases,
stuff like that.

But thats all *natural* stuff like wot God does.
Only Man is capable of Sin.

Giving the environmentalists full credit for honesty and good judgment,
I wonder if it is justified to do away with plastic straws because it is
relatively cheap and simple to do?

and what do you do then? use plastic coated paper? or real straw?
