counterpoint boba, but people complaining about paper straws is one of the silliest things to result out of climate "action"
obviously if you are injured or medically need to use a straw ie you have parkinson's etc. you need a straw, but paper straws are not that bad and carrying around a metal straw is also not that bad if you dislike the paper straws / use straws often enough to justify a metal one
I guess I just reject the framing that it's a tangible sacrifice to stop using single use plastic stuff, which should have been common practice for years before it happened
People correctly recognize that their individual consumptive choices aren’t the cause of ecological disaster. Many governments used an elementary school students phone survey to establish the volume and severity of single use straws effect on the environment.
People aren’t uncaring hogs for recognizing the new yogurt cup discourse intended to obscure the real source of pollution.
Just because it’s easy to not use a disposable straw doesn’t mean it’s effective or that the public-private partnership to be rid of them has good intentions.
