Starbucks Coffee has announced that they have begun phasing out plastic straws with a goal of going straw-free worldwide by 2020.

Delish continues, “Currently available at more than 8,000 stores in the U.S. and Canada, the lids will be phased in to every Starbucks in Seattle and Vancouver this fall, with more regions following suit.

If you’re already panicking over how to drink your beloved Frapp — don’t freak out. The iconic green straw will still be available, but in a new material. Instead of using single-use plastic straws, Starbucks is switching over to paper and compostable plastic straws, served with Frappuccinos and available upon request for customer “who prefer or need a straw,” per the company.”
