I mean, you’re not wrong. It’s these billionaires, and such doing way more environmental damage with their jets, yachts and or these overfishing (when they aren’t suppose to) which really is.
Plastic straws I guess are a tiny fix, to cover up the bigger problems, I guess making people think it’s making a big impact, but it’s barely.
Straws are a red herring. Little waste like that is barely a drop in the ocean of pollution. The true problem is fishing gear. It's cheaper to throw shit overboard when it gets caught or falls into disrepair, than to properly dispose of it.
Not to mention, plastic straws are the only ones that check every box for disability concerns.
