How Plastic Straw Bans Have Changed Peoples’ Lives | Eater
"A regular neighborhood coffee shop where metal straws were displayed in a cup at the counter, prompting an impulsive purchase of a straw for $1.50 (and a small cleaner for $0.50). The buyer keeps the straw in a Ziploc in her purse and uses it in a variety of settings — cafés, bars, farmer’s markets — enjoying the look and convenience of drinking from a bottle-jar with the metal straw. She usually brings a reusable cup as well, hasn’t gotten much comment from others, and finds remembering the straw is the main hurdle to using it consistently." - Daniela Galarza
