A new law is now officially banning all restaurants from giving any customers plastic straws in Los Angeles.
The reason for the law being in full effect today, Monday April 22nd is because it's Earth Day.
So the next time you are at a restaurant, you no longer will be provided a plastic straw even if you ask.
Councilman Mitch O'Farrell stated that"Although straws are a small part of the eight million metric tons of plastic that end up in our ocean every year, we know that it is one we can have really great control over, both on a personal choice, and to effectuate a policy that will help highlight the plight of our world's oceans and the danger and the threat on the environment of plastic straw waste.''
