As a curious fourth grader who had just started an environmental project to discourage restaurants from providing straws by default, Cress decided to look online to find out how many straws are used each day in the United States. Not being able to find any statistics, he called straw manufacturers directly and estimated the 500 million figure based on numbers they provided him.

In February of 2011, Milo Cress (then nine years old) founded the Be Straw Free Campaign project to work together with members of the straw industry, restaurants and other businesses, schools, environmental groups, and concerned citizens to reduce the use and waste of disposable plastic straws.

这个是npr报道的，还是比较权威的。很多饮料是塑料杯子，然后吸管给你搞成纸质；或者纸质吸管外面用塑料包一层。只能说欧美搞这些也挺草台班子的。想起之前那个how dare you小学生，感觉是这个风气。
