But industries exist to provide things to consumers, like me and you. Not creating pollution for the sheer joy of it.
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. >

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. >

But it isn't a fix. It's the ghost of a fix, and it serves to blame people like me and you, rather than the industries that are raping the planet (and us)
