So now paper straws are added to the list like paper cups, pizza boxes, french fry bags, and takeout containers that contain harmful “forever chemicals”. I guess poisoning ourselves is better than having plastic in our environment. Maybe reverting back to plastics seems to be the answer. Plastics still contaminate our bodies but at a much lower rate as they are solids. Micro plastics are a whole other issue that we need to fix. The paper allows the forever chemicals to seep out into the food or liquid. How can the local government push green legislation without doing the proper research?
