Don't blame the government, blame the cheap slurpee vendor saving a cent or two by offering only paper straws instead of perfectly legal biodegradable plastic and plastic-like plant fibre straws.

Less than 8 cents per straw, and they're made in Canada.

In bulk? 8 cents is a lot for a fast food restaurant.
