Straw Wars: These High-Profile San Diego Restaurants Are The Latest To Stop Serving Plastic Straws
Three high-profile San Diego restaurants have joined a growing global movement to limit the number of plastic straws that end up in the ocean, potentially harming marine life.
In the latest episode of what some have dubbed "Straw Wars," Herringbone in La Jolla and the city's two Searsuckers, in Del Mar and the Gaslamp, have taken a "No Straws" pledge in recent weeks, their owner, the Hakkasan Group, said on Monday. The eateries are the first in the vast Abu Dhabi-based hospitality company to adopt a policy to provide straws only upon request.
