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
Calmly explaining that potatoes come from the earth and you need to protect them from all the weird chemicals and ambient radiation common to the big cities. Then cocooning my potato in a thick layer of microplastics and leaving it in a hot car for a few hours.
