We already have a people being ‘nostalgic’ for plastic straws… It’s depressing that so many people are so willfully selfish that the slightest change or inconvenience to their life is met with such backlash.
On a related note, Uranium glass isn’t dangerous at all, it’s production was phased out for nuclear weapons and reactor research, not because of any threat or harm from the glass.
Nowadays you can even get virgin uranium glass again.
Vitrifying (turning to/encasing in glass) nuclear waste is one of the better ways of storing it as no chance of leaking, etc.

Where I live plastic straws are still everywhere.
Nickname checks out ; I think I’ve read it can be dangerous if you ingest it in specific situations, but mostly not.
Agreed.
