ACTIVITY
Record dateProcurement reviewed the remaining paper-straw inventory.
PLASTIC, I want a Straw that stays a STRAW!
The strategy team requested a beverage for product testing.
Paper goes in the Drink, turns into the Drink, terrible Drinking experience..... I'm trying to finish a Soda, not eat a Newspaper!
The beverage outlasted the prototype.
Forty-five Days to save the Straw, I would've done it by Lunch.
PUBLIC RECORD
Executive Order 14208, signed February 10, 2025: Directed agencies to end federal procurement and provision of paper straws and requested a national strategy within 45 days to end their use. The order concerned federal policy and further strategy, not an immediate universal ban on private purchases.
