Why Straws Are For Suckers!

RubyMoon has seen a lot of press lately with regards to the detrimental effect of plastic straws pollution- from creating hazards to marine life in our oceans to clogging up landfill sites. Who can forget the facebook post of the turtle, in pain and bleeding, as a nasty straw was removed from its nostril? There is simply no need for plastic straws when biodegrable paper ones and re-usable ones are so readily available. We also heard about a great scheme in Brighton that is ending plastic straw use by innovative pledging across the city.  Or- as Treehugger suggests, by introducing a tax on plastic straws ?

Which option do you think is better to change behaviour?
