An HSR vendor has come up with paper straws to replace the banned plastic straws you use to drink fruit juice and tender coconut water.
“They can be an alternative for disposable plastic straws,” says resident Lalithamba BV who has suggested this to the BBMP top brass, including Randeep, the commissioner in charge of waste management in the city. “These need to be promoted, so that they become economical.”
In neighbouring Tamil Nadu, coconut vendors have come up with several other alternatives like bamboo stems and papaya stalks. Where there is a will, there is a way. If you want to use these paper straws, you could reach Arun at 94806-37400 or 94806-37400.
