Disneyland and Walt Disney World are joining the likes of Seattle and Starbucks by implementing a plastic straw ban.
The goal for the parks is to be plastic straw free by mid-2019. That’s about a year away from now. And listen to how much impact this will have—more than 175 million straws and 13 million stirrers will be eliminated according to The Tribune.
We’re making a global commitment to minimize single-use plastic waste by eliminating plastic straws, stirrers and polystyrene cups, reducing plastic shopping bags, and cutting in-room plastics by 80%: https://t.co/pd0AGZeCUs pic.twitter.com/X2DP40spRe

I didn’t see anything about paper straws or cardboard stirrers being implemented at Disneyland or Walt Disney World as an alternative. But, one user posted a photo of a Starbucks at Disney World. That might just be a Starbucks thing, though.
The plastic straw ban was met with mixed reviews. But, what do YOU think about it?
