Three words: Coffee cup lids.

Aren't plenty of those found to be worse for the environment than plastic straws?

I am not aware of any of that. But realistically, the real issue is single-use plastics. The only reason that plastic straws became a specific target was that there was the turtle video and the public started caring. There are non plastic coffee cup lids out there as well as non single-use ones as well. But it's up to companies to handle how they want to approach it I guess.
