Are there better ideas that don’t involve taxes? Businesses voluntarily getting rid of straws so that they’re not part of the problem seems like a good, cheap solution. And it doesn’t require human effort to continue buying straws, forcing many customer interactions to decide: straw-or-no-straw, tracking how many straws were used, and reporting that data back to the government, all so that we still have this plastic waste. I’m not seeing how an option like this I’d preferable. But I’m open to other ideas. And I agreem, this didn’t matter so much in terms of impact.
