Starbucks Is Going Straw Free
You might want to start weaning yourself off straws as you sip that Starbucks iced coffee or chocolate Frappuccino. The coffee company announced it's getting rid of all plastic straws by 2020.
Starbucks will replace the straws with new lids that have a raised lid for sipping. According to a CNN article some have described the new lid as an adult sippy cup.
Starbucks plans to introduce eco-friendly straws made from paper or compostable plastic. The change will eliminate more than a billion plastic straws per year.
I'll drink to that.
