Little Ol’ Malibu Gets (More) Worldwide Attention On Straw Ban

Malibu may not have been the first place to ban plastic straws … but it was the most famous.

Mayor Rick Mullen says he was interviewed by a Japanese television News team last week about the Malibu straw ban … which goes into effect in two weeks.

Next week … San Francisco will likely join the growing list of cities seeking to cut down on environmentally noxious litter.

Berkeley … San Luis Obispo and Davis are also onboard… also Seattle.

British Prime Minister Theresa May called for a nationwide prohibition on plastic straws last month.

Now … a proposed statewide law introduced by Assemblyman Ian Calderon, D-Whittier (Los Angeles County), would make single-use plastic straws available by request only.

We will keep you posted.
