Should fast-food chains ditch plastic straws?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

What do you think of this campaign? Hamilton high school students Chelsea West, Haydee Anson and Abbey Huriwai are publicly challenging McDonald's to ditch plastic straws nationwide. Although the fast-food giant has a couple of small initiatives on straw use, it seems to have no intention of expanding that initiative any time soon.

What do you think of the challenge? Should fast-food places ditch plastic straws? Do you think a straw on request policy would work in NZ? Let us know in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff.)
