Banning plastic straws may not directly reduce the plastic waste problem itself, but it HAS had a very high profile with almost all major media outlets talking about it.
Anything that keeps reminding people that we are destroying our home with use-once plastic is a good thing in my opinion. Today it's plastic straws and shopping bags, tomorrow hopefully it will be larger use-once plastic items and from there we may actually start making an impact.
