New report reveals how Trump admin will eliminate paper straws: 'Not rocket science'

"Paper straws are a laughable supposition. They are bad for the environment, they are unhygienic, they are expensive, they contain dangerous forever chemicals, and-as with most things advanced by the previous Administration-they do not work," the president wrote in a letter included in the report.

"This is not rocket science-water and other drinks dissolve paper, rendering these straws useless for their sole purpose. A product of a fictitious yet frequently cited statistic, they are inefficient and wasteful. It is ludicrous that anyone saw fit to enforce their use and that these useless implements have infiltrated our marketplaces as much as they have. Among the many things that my Administration is having to roll back, this is among the most absurd," Trump continued.

The Executive Order came just months after the Biden administration announced plans in July to phase out single-use plastic in the federal government.

"The Trump Administration has undone this weaponization of government and will use all available levers to bring back common sense, end the use of paper straws, and restore functional utensils for the American people," the report's conclusion states, arguing not only that research does not back up the widespread use of paper straws, but also that it may "pose safety risks to children and people with disabilities."
