Plastic Straw Bans Are Not Fair to People with Disabilities, and Here’s What We Can Do About It

Learn more about how plastic straw bans negatively impact people with disabilities and how to advocate to avoid straw bans.

Fun fact: Did you know that the plastic bendy straw was actually first used among people with illness and disability before it became a mainstream utensil? As recounted in this video, bendy straws were initially used in hospitals to help patients who were reclining in bed drink more easily. In fact, plastic flexible straws are one of the very view devices that were first used among people with disabilities before they were adopted and normalized by people without disabilities. Before these straws were invented, people with disabilities “aspirated liquid in their lungs, developed pneumonia, and died,” Shaun Bickley, co-chair of the Seattle Commission for People with DisAbilities, a volunteer organization that’s supposed to advise the city council or agencies on disabilities issues, told NPR. Why should we go backward by implementing policies that negatively impact disabled people and prevent them from using a product that was intended specifically for them?

Read this, and understand why the adoption of an accessibility device by ableds does not mean that it should be banned by some due to over-usage by other ableds.
