Why so much concern lately about plastic straws? Is there something unique to straws that makes them worse than other waste?
Just curious. Straws are a minuscule percentage of our waste stream. I was contemplating a Starbucks frappucino - so they get rid of the straw, but what about the cup? Why is the straw the problem?

Has anyone used Rosetta Stone that would like to comment on it? I'm planning to learn Mandarin. It looks good, but it's expensive so I'm seeking some feedback first.
Any other suggestions welcome as well....
2 AnswersLanguages8 years agoDoes the US government subsidize oil companies?
Everyone throws that out there, like it's a given, but I don't see any evidence of it. I'm not saying the government doesn't do it for sure, I'm just looking for evidence. i.e. how many dollars went to which company and when. Be specific. I'm asking about direct subsidies or specific tax breaks that aren't available to other industries.
And I'm not talking about military action in the middle east, either.
