15 Times Major Media Outlets Used a Statistic about Plastic Straws Based on Research by a 9-Year-Old. Seriously, this makes us wonder how much of the global warming research was/is done by 9 year old kids.

  • I guess this makes me an eco-friendly kind of guy. I don't need no stinking straw for my beer can and shot glass! Or my water glass, coffee mug or anything else.

    Maybe I can get a "I saved the planet" award from some loony liberal organization because I don't use plastic straws for anything! Maybe it will offset my carbon footprint because I drive a 1977 F-250 4X4 gas guzzling monster! Think about it guys, I may be an all American hero and don't know it!

    And the lunacy of the lame stream media and the fools that pay attention to what they say rolls on.

  • Try telling this load of BS to the Chinese, and their ilk, that's where most of the plastic trash in the oceans comes from.

  • I read this story yesterday. “Where’d you get this stat?” “From this place”. “Where’d you get this stat?” “From this place”. ”Where’d you get this stat?” “From this place”. ”where’d YOU get this stat?” “From a 9 year old who conducted a call survey for school.” So. You’re going to jail people and fine them $1k based on “research” conducted by a child???

  • That would be every American using a dozen straws a day. Media and most people on the left are so gullible.

    • Uh, no. You're as bad as the media at math. There are about 325 million of us. To use 500 million straws per day we would each need to use about 1 1/2 straws. It's not a bad estimate, really.
