Paper straws burn 4x the energy to produce, 100x the amount of water, and create 4x more greenhouse gases than their plastic cousins. And there is no proof that paper straws decompose any faster than plastic in a landfill.

If you want to out-green your neighbor, ask for a hay straw next time you drive your Prius through the drive-through:

As far as safety is concerned, take a look at how many former paper mills are now EPA superfund cleanup sites.
