They never went anywhere? They've been for sale around here all along.
certain states banned them. this would federally make it illegal to ban them at the state level, as far as I understand. you know, states' rights and all
Nah, a cursory glance at the article shows it’s about reversing a push by the Biden administration to transition federal locations to using paper straws.
Last summer, the Biden administration announced an initiative to reduce single-use plastics in federal operations.
In addition to working with the private sector, other stakeholders, and state, local, Tribal, and Territorial governments to reduce the impact of plastic pollution, it planned to phase out federal procurement of single-use plastics from food service operations, events, and packaging by 2027, and from all federal operations by 2035.
sorry, was assuming this was broader than just federal. thanks for clarifying
