Why not? It’s all recyclable.

But it’s plastic that’s the problem, not cardboard (which biodegrades).

Straws are a good one for the “reduce” part of the triangle. No one really needs a straw and they shouldn’t be used. I think Starbucks is planning to get rid of plastic straws and McDonald’s should follow suit, along with the plastic lids for cups. Just don’t fill your half gallon soda to the brim, you fat fuck.
