Plastic straws are everywhere. Governments and corporations are beginning to enact straw bans... that's good, right? But does banning #plasticstraws really help the worst of #plasticpollution or help the environment? In this episode we look at the real damage from straws, and why the most popular strawlternative is actually worse than plastic. We also hear from a local business in Taipei, Ooh Cha Cha and its founder Mai Bach, on how they phased out plastic straws and how businesses can adapt to straw bans.
This is a podcast about how NOT to save the #environment. Hosted by Nature N8 (Nate Maynard), an environmental researcher working on energy, ocean, and waste issues.
