Paper vs Plastic - Tiki Drinks and Food

I consider myself an environmentalist, but I HATE paper straws. They get soggy and then wilt or break in half. Not to mention the taste of cardboard with the drink. Interesting about the silicone straws. I think I'll order a set and try them out. Every time I open the drawer to get a plastic straw I feel a little bad about something so disposable after a use. Even the swizzle sticks I have can be washed and used again. Not giving up the paper umbrellas. Sorry Earth.
