1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Well, we have some bad news from across the pond.

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Last year, McDonald's, Mickey D's, and the United Kingdom got

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: rid of all of their plastic straws. Management figured that

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: by changing over to paper straws in restaurants, they would

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: prove to the environmentalist wackos that they were serious about

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: saving the earth. But you see there's a problem. According

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: to CNN, McDonald's paper straws are too thick to be

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: processed by recyclers in the UK. Even though the straws

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: are paper, they cannot be recycled, unlike the plastic straws

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: that McDonald's got rid of, which were recyclable. This is

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: a huge backfire, my friends. It's unsustainable now. I sure

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: hope the smartest creatures in the sea, the dolphins. I

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: hope they take a good look at what just happened here.

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: Environmentalist wackos pressure every evil corporation to stop using plastic.

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: McDonald's surrendered, and now the dolphins and the whales, the

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: sea turtles are in more told danger. While hunting for

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: their fishy fast food in the oceans, these beautiful creatures

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: may end up swallowing soggy paper straws, which cannot be recycled,

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: and you know how that would embarrass the dolphins and

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: just have to suck it up. What else can they

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: do when dealing with environmentalist wackos, same thing we have

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: to do, suck it up.
