Poll: Should restaurants and bars stop giving out plastic straws?

Mandy Te Reporter from East & Bays Courier

Hi neighbours! Plastic straws are one of the most common items found on beach clean-ups. Some food places have stopped giving them while others are giving out eco-friendly straws that are biodegradable or re-usable. Do you support this? What are your thoughts? Do you use straws often? What do you do with them afterwards?

Please add NP if you do not wish for your comment to be used in print.
