It just makes you think, and that was the reason I showed it in class all the time. I'm not sure we need to make life changing decisions, but awareness is key. I think extending the shelf life of your own stuff is great; there is no need to throw away something, just because a new version came up. Here in Mexico, they have shoe, tv, radio, small appliances etc repair places still. It is not a throw-away society here, and it's nice to see.

But do they still use plastic straws? A lot of the West Coast of the USA is starting to make plastic straws illegal. Drunk driving is apparently just frowned upon. But plastic straws can get you jail time. :P
hahaha yes, still a plastic straw in every drink here. Just imagine how many that is though, especially in the all-inclusive resorts. I see that Seattle started that some time ago. Oh yes, the environmental police will put you in shackles with that one. God forbid you get caught drinking and driving with a straw in that drink!! They wouldn't know what to do 😎
And San Fransisco, and a few other cities in California and along the West Coast. Seattle or San Fran always seem to lead and the rest of us get to follow suit.
Drinking with a straw and driving. Yeah, I'll bet that a lot of states bring back capital punishment for that offense. How could someone do a thing so horrible?!!!?!?!
(Note: that's only if the drink is non-alcoholic. If there's alcohol involved, the person will be let off with less than a slap on the wrist for endangering everyone else's life, and then sent on their merry, drunken way... minus the straw though. We can't just let them off entirely.)
My parents would say all of the hippie states :)
haha that's about it! With the straw, there's probably a public tar and feathering, with people gaping open mouthed at the horror of witnessing someone who'd used a straw. big public gasp
I don't know what happened to the West Coast. Or the East Coast. Heck, I don't even know what's happening to the places between those two. It seems like the whole country is going crazy. Well, just as much as the rest of the world, I guess. Strange times.
I'm beginning to like it more and more here because that level of crazy just hasn't made its way here at all...yet.
