Ending Procurement and Forced Use of Paper Straws

President's order mandates the federal government to cease purchasing and providing paper straws, deeming them environmentally and economically inefficient.

The order also encourages nationwide elimination of paper straw use by addressing relevant policies and collaborating with entities that penalize plastic straw use.

This is presented as a response to a perceived irrational campaign against plastic straws in favor of paper options with unanticipated negative side effects.
