AUSTIN, Texas — Iconic Austin restaurant and music venue Stubb’s is saying goodbye to straws.

On Thursday, Stubbs posted the message on its social media pages Thursday.


Stubb's joins a movement to decrease the use of straws in an effort to be environmentally conscious. According to the National Park Service, Americans use approximately 500 million straws daily, enough to fill over 125 school buses with straws every day and  46,400 school buses every year.
