Banning biodegradable straws and Co-Op's biodegradable bags is stupid as hell. |
PLA isn't really biodegradable outside of industrial composting facilities, unless you're talking about over a period of centuries. So those things are really no better than normal plastic in terms of their impact if they end up in the environment.
The real issue is that banning plastic straws is even a priority. They make up such a tiny amount of plastic waste, it really is more like slacktivism to ban them.
