Have you looked her and her institute up?

"CEI promotes environmental policies based on limited government regulation and property rights and rejects what they call "global warming alarmism".[3] The organization's largest program, the Center for Energy and Environment, focuses on energy policy, chemical risk policy, Clean Air Act regulation, land and water regulation, the Endangered Species Act, and private conservation policies."
Wikipedia. The organization ranks 59 out of 60 top think tanks. Wikipedia.
Go here for an eye opener on them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compet...rise_Institute

I fear they are business oriented over what's good for the environment. Trees and bamboo are renewable. Plastic is not biodegradable. We use fish for food.

If you don't like the idea of making straws out of paper or bamboo, try the glass or stainless steel ones.
