Last week, the Japanese government finalized a bill aimed at reducing the use of plastic straws in eateries.

According to one customer, "I hear about environmental issues so I want to use it." Starbucks switched to using paper straws last year. With the new product, the company hopes to further discourage the use of plastic straws.
