0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, we have some bad news from across the pond.

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Last year, McDonald's, Mickey D's, and the United Kingdom got

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>rid of all of their plastic straws. Management figured that

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>by changing over to paper straws in restaurants, they would

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>prove to the environmentalist wackos that they were serious about

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>saving the earth. But you see there's a problem. According

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to CNN, McDonald's paper straws are too thick to be

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>processed by recyclers in the UK. Even though the straws

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 1>are paper, they cannot be recycled, unlike the plastic straws

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>that McDonald's got rid of, which were recyclable. This is

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>a huge backfire, my friends. It's unsustainable now. I sure

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>hope the smartest creatures in the sea, the dolphins. I

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.599
<v Speaker 1>hope they take a good look at what just happened here.

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Environmentalist wackos pressure every evil corporation to stop using plastic.

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's surrendered, and now the dolphins and the whales, the

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>sea turtles are in more told danger. While hunting for

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>their fishy fast food in the oceans, these beautiful creatures

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>may end up swallowing soggy paper straws, which cannot be recycled,

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know how that would embarrass the dolphins and

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>just have to suck it up. What else can they

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>do when dealing with environmentalist wackos, same thing we have

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>to do, suck it up.
