Plastic straws end up in the ocean because straws are given out when people purchase drinks. Those straws are then thrown indiscriminately into rivers or the ocean, or thrown off a cruise/boat, or left by the beach for the tides to swallow them up. You can't fix human behavior as there will always be people who just don't give a f. A ban on plastic straws is probably one of the best solutions.
On the whole multi-bin thing that puts the burden on people to sort their trash - I totally agree with you. I've never understood why that was necessary. In the end, the trash still needs to be sorted anyway, since, again, some people DGAF.
