Costco has paper straws now

[kalakoa]

Now, how about those styrofoam food containers?

Same problem: it's not the styrofoam, it's the unfettered release into the environment. A deposit of $1/clamshell would have prevented this.

The new compostable paper containers tend to soak through, so at least one place is lining them with tinfoil. Not clear this is "better for the environment".

I would just bring my own reusable containers, but "health department regulations"...
