Seattle, Wash. (CBS Local/AP) — Starbucks says it will eliminate plastic straws from its stores globally by 2020, a nod to the growing push for businesses to be more environmentally friendly.
The company will become the largest food and beverage company operating globally to ban plastic straws from all of its stores.
The Seattle-based company said Monday it will instead use straws made from other materials, and lids designed not to need straws. McDon
