    Yes, straws up turtles noses seem to be a theme. My wife now carries around reusable straws. HOWEVER I feel we are been hoodwinked on this as, for example the percent  of plastic on a McDonald's meal that is made up by 'straw plastic' seems small.  What about drink lids, plastic happy meal toys,  single use cutlery, stop small saute packaging etc...
