Apparently you have to open the pic in a new browser tab.

Starbucks is saving the planet from plastic straws all the while theres more plastic in the new lid than the old lid and straw together.

Political correctness gone amuck once again.

AND they gave me a straw with the drink....

I used to see alot of turtles when I was a kid growing up...I don't see them anymore. Makes me sad.:(

that's true. back then, there were a lot of turtles onsight. now, the chance of seeing one on shore is too slim. in case you've seen one, it may not be in its best shape

Some want to make plastic straws illegal.
Others want to legalize plastic guns.
Whole world is gone bananas.

A quick search

No, the new Starbucks plastic lids do not use less overall plastic. But that’s not the point, according to Starbucks. Straws are small enough that even modern recycling systems don’t catch them, meaning that even cities that recycle #5 plastic (which is what many straws are made of) often don’t end up recycling straws. A professor at Columbia University told Popular Science:

“You can have straws made out of polypropylene, which is entirely recyclable,” says Kartik Chandran, a professor at Columbia University’s Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering. “But the machines we have aren’t really capable of capturing something in the size range of straws.”

I know what their point is, my point was, is that their point is rediculious, more non biodegradable material being used, and the cup is now way easier to spill (less consumer friendly).

Next up paper mache straws ?

Cookie dough straws ?
