Donald Trump recently signed an executive order aimed at abolishing paper straws, labeling them as inconvenient and broken. This decision builds on his previous contempt for biodegradable straws, evident through the sale of Trump-branded plastic alternatives. The order requires the cessation of paper straws in federal buildings and calls for a national strategy to end their usage. While the disdain for paper straws has been prominent among some consumers, it raises questions about practical impacts and the viability of alternatives amidst environmental concerns.

White House staff secretary Will Scharf described consumers as being 'wildly dissatisfied' with paper straws, which seems like an accurate representation.
