Not only did it do fuck all to help, it was also really annoying.

Likely on purpose to make people not want to help the environment at all if it means having soggy paper in your drinks.

The paper straws couldn’t even be recycled.

Not defending paper straws specifically but recycling is a scam. Anything common household material that is not plastic is inherently better than plastic from an environmental standpoint.

They’re compostable/biodegradable. I think the point was to reduce the affect of litter. Some municipalities give you an organic bin that’s collected, composted, then sold.
