In my opinion, this could catch on ONLY if the alternative eco friendly straws are cost- effective.

Straws are unnecessary extra plastic and often harm animals once disposed of. Only needed for those with specific disabilities. We can do this, Santa Fe!

My daughter hasn’t been using straws for awhile . And bought a glass straw she keeps in her bag. She taught me and I’m in! The only straws that should be used now should be made from paper, for the sick, elderly, disabled in hospitals , etc. I want to make sure not to shame those that truly need straws to drink comfortably and often.

YES! This waste is killing our wildlife and polluting the oceans, rivers and land. I would happily go without straws and hope that local business will stop providing straws. So uneccesary--let's go forward and be smart about waste. BAN STAWS

No plastic straws, please. I brought my own reusable straw in StrawSleeves (.com).

Stop hurting the oceans with unnecessary straws. Instead, use edible ones!

This is a terrific senior project, Amber. Thank you for developing it for Santa Fe. Best wishes with your efforts and those good people who support Strawless Santa Fe. Every little step to improve humans' relationship with the Earth is worthwhile.

I'm so excited about this! My New Year resolution was to rid my life of single use plastic iteams and straws were #1! I quickly learned it was harder than I though because you can't order a drink without get one even if you ask for "no straw", serves on auto pilot forget sometimes. Its a worth cause and I'm happy to join in!

It can take hundreds of years for a straw to break down. Then it breaks down into toxic pieces. I would completely support a biodegradable option or a complete ban. I saw your announcement in The Reporter and thought this was just great! Thanks for the oppurtunity to contribute!

Anything we can do to protect our wildlife is very worthwhile.
