The Spin

Republican narrative

The paper straw initiative inconveniences Americans with inferior products while having minimal environmental impact. The US contributes only a small portion of global plastic waste in oceans and it's time to give people back their plastic straws.

OutKickNew York Post

Democratic narrative

Plastic straws are part of a larger environmental crisis, with nearly 100% made from fossil fuels, contributing to climate change through their production disposal. They also contribute to harming marine life and ecosystems through pollution. There's no good reason to try and roll back this environmental protection.
