Plastic-News-Recycling-Environmental-Today-plastic-straw cop

Anchorage Daily News — WASHINGTON – Warning letters in hand, Zach Rybarczyk patrolled the food court at Union Station, looking for offenders.


Past Auntie Anne’s, past Johnny Rockets. At Lotus Express, a Chinese food joint, Rybarczyk peeled the wrapper from a red straw and bent the end – the telltale giveaway.


Plastic.


Washington has become the latest city in a nationwide movement to ban plastic straws, and it’s up to Rybarczyk, an inspector for the D.C. Department of Energy and Environment, to enforce the new law.


The straw cop left the rattled cashier at Lotus Express with a warning that if the store was still using plastic straws by July, when a grace period expires, it could be fined up to $800.
