Listening to the radio this morning about a city wide restaurant promotion occurring here in Texas.
Significant focus was on making sure that participants either did not use "straws" or requested paper ones. All of the buzz lately after the turtle with a straw in its nose... with concerns about straws in our oceans.
Made me ponder 2 questions:
1) How does a plastic straw get from the trash can in a restaurant in North Texas into the oceans? ( I thought it went to the landfill on the north side of town).
2) For those coastal areas where the ocean is nearby, rather than worry about the straw - would it not be better if NO garbage was dumped in the ocean?
Oh well, asked my wife the questions - she thought I was just being difficult...
