I assume it'll be something like this, that's pretty cool.

I'm all for it. The video of a turtle having a plastic straw being removed from its nostrils is horrific. :(

Yeah seeing shit like this is painful.
Good on you Starbucks.
A billion less straws is a sightly safer world for turtles.
They will have compostable straws for them. Compostable straws are basically paper.How are you going to drink a Frappuccino without a straw? They're basically milkshakes.
Read the last paragraph quotedHow are you going to drink a Frappuccino without a straw? They're basically milkshakes.

Good lord, there isn't that much text to read in the OP.
It's right there in the OP.How are you going to drink a Frappuccino without a straw? They're basically milkshakes.
Try reading more than just the title? :thinking:How are you going to drink a Frappuccino without a straw? They're basically milkshakes.
I had a nitro cold brew in the new lid design. It's actually pretty cool.
The only essential straw beverage I get at Starbucks is a classic Iced Coffee. I feel like that may be a little challenging, but we shall see.

Just realized the topic at hand, while phasing out the straws, is the lid being made to replace the straws. So basically, just announced recently, the lids will be recyclable, and phased in through 2020, at the same time phasing out straws and having the option for a paper/compostable straw.
Here's the announcement from Starbucks.. maybe put this in the OP..

Well then I suppose if Dunkin Donuts ever does this sort of thing I'll just buy a washable plastic straw to reuse.
Like other straws? You've probably had them at a party or something before
Try reading the OP
Even better: Bring your own cup and use no plastic at all.
I dont go to Starbucks, but at 7/11, you get a discount for every drink if you bring your own.
Coffee.
Fountain Sodas.
Even slurpees.
These bad boys work great for cold drinks.

They are really bad but you get used to it. Bring your own straw if you can't adjust.
I hate the paper straws, they make the coffee taste off. I feel like I am getting paper with each sip. The recyclable lids with a sippy cup style is perfect. At my job they removed straws, but neglected to fix the lids on cups. It such a simple fix and I am glad it is being done.
I've heard of a few companies doing this (or having already done so) in Canada. I've wondered what we'll use instead, but haven't really done much research or read anything apart from the headlines.
I'm all for it. I sometimes use plastic straws at home to keep pop away from my teeth, but not that often. And I almost never buy drinks out, especially not ones that need straws.

The paper straws definitely aren't as good as the plastic ones, but the tradeoffs are definitely worth it for reducing plastic waste. Kind of funny to go full circle back to basically adult sippy cups but most travel coffee holders were already pretty much that.
Good on them. I'm already using my own steel and glass straws for home and travel. It's a little bit of an adjustment because I am so used to getting them with everything that it's easy to forget, but I'm getting there. Anyway, I'm doing my part to help momma earth when I can, even if it is a little sacrifice now and then. <3
