Quite a few places have gone to paper straws. Buccaneer is moving to no plastic at all. They were actually one of the first bars on the island to recycle glass and plastic many years ago.

That's great. Hoping more will follow suit and get the plastic out of the environment. Or at least recycle it into eco friendly products. I've seen what can be done with recycled plastics put into roads and dwellings.
