Yes, banning straws isn't going to fix the problem but this is like the climate deniers who scoff at every mention to kill the debate ignoring that we still have a big issue to address.

We have existing laws that will reduce existing plastic polution. Having the PD pull over Billy Schmucaktelli and give him a fine when he tosses a Big Mack Combo out the window might be a good start.
Hopefully the judge does not dismiss it for cruel and unusual punishment like they do in so many instances.
Between the lack of enforcement and the lack of judicial sentencing there is little deterrence to the litterbug.
I'm pretty confident you do not litter, I know I don't and I'm pretty sure most (all?) people here don't.
