On this day in history, plastic straws were liberated in the United States of America, …. Oh, and more tariffs, eh.

Oh, America (The Crypto-Republic of Plastic Straws), what have U done?

Donald Trump has his finger on the pulse of the American people! Always prioritizing what's most important.

Someone has microplastics in his brain.

@MatWright Pretty sure you’re right. But still. Are we so easily bought & sold? Will plastic straws & forks be what decides this election?
Meanwhile, BC Greens’ Furstenau talks about public transit & carbon tax & healthcare in what I consider meaningful ways.
ps. I have a couple of reusable straws & a drawer full of forks, so I *think* I’m immune to this clever politicking by Rustad & Co. (Will Eby flip-flop on straws & forks too?) #bcelxn2024 #bcpoli #plasticstraws #redherrings
I told my mum that plastic straws were hurting the planet, so I needed to make a change. She laughed, went away for a bit, and then returned with this glass straw that she had kept since she was a child.

#PaperStraws are a different kind of awful on the planet compared to #PlasticStraws. They're both terrible on our #environment.
