The plastic straw ban at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse isn’t saving much money, but students say it is working in other ways.
UW La Crosse Student Association President Ben O’Connell this week said thousands of straws have not been used across campus since the school banned them earlier this school year. University managers say the ban only saved about a thousand dollars, but O’Connell says it’s more about saving the environment than saving money.
