Paper Straws

[shapsam]

Between federal tax credits and gas savings, you should have a payback within the lifetime of the car. Plus there's less maintenance.

Amazon carries every color LED light.

Besides, paper straws also cost much more than plastic.

Why do you get a straw with a glass of water/coke in the first place?

I typically don't, but anytime I'm drinking from a cup in the car, it helps to have a straw. Also, when you have a cup full of ice, straws help make it easier to drink.

-Go buy an electric car if you're worried about the planet. Side benefit: Saves you money, saves you time, diverts money away from Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela.

Carbon footprint of manufacturing a new car negates the environmental benefit. Better off buying a used car.

$25 for a straw? A bit pricy.

That's assuming you would otherwise buy used.

Even if so, that movement will never last, as you need new cars to have used cars. If we all only bought used cars, the car industry would collapse, and so would the concept of driving cars.

Smart. I'll do the same for my underwear as well going forward.

Even smarter. Why aren't we on the board of some sort of environmental protection group?

Just look at Cuba.

I'd really rather not.

Why not? I really want to visit before they modernize.

It wouldn't collapse, it would contract. Which would be good for the environment.

They are way ahead of you. Pretty sure I saw PETA adds in that regard.

Like the 100% tax in Israel. People use cars for longer (combined with the fact that they couldn't afford a new one to begin with).

I was referring to making a law that you could only buy used cars (which is obviously ridiculous) to help preserve the environment.

remains to be seen.
