house 08/05/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that federal agencies stop requiring paper straws that often fail to meet durability standards, and instead provide straws that perform as well as plastic ones. Our goal is to improve functionality and reduce waste caused by ineffective disposable straws in government contracts.

If saving the environment makes straws tough, maybe our priorities need a straw-ng mix-up.

Trading paper straws for plastic is like putting a Band-Aid on a sinking ship; we need real green solutions, not plastic parade.

Who knew saving government contracts from flimsy straws was the real national security threat?

Plastic straws might not save the planet, but at least they won’t snap mid-sip like this legislation’s logic.

Durable straws or durable solutions? Seems like both could use some reinforcement.

If paper straws can’t cut it, maybe this bill is just blowing bubbles without a punch.
