Yep. I’m all for limiting waste, but we never should’ve gotten rid of plastic straws. Paper straws DO NOT WORK. It’s as simple as that.

I’ve resorted to carrying my own straws these days, just so I don’t have to use soggy paper.

And frankly, I doubt getting rid of plastic straws had any effect anyway. They claimed here it was to protect sea turtles. I live four hours from the ocean. Unless a sea turtle knows how to use public transport, they’re not likely to get near my straw. Especially since I actually put it in the recycling bin anyway.

They should offer reusable metal straws

They'd just get stolen and you know it.

Idk, would it be any different than reusable metal silverware? Restaurants use those all the time. ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

First of all, you'd be surprised, and second of all, while most people DO have silverware at more, they probably don't have metal straws, and they'd also be easier to steal because they're thinner than a fork or a knife and thus easier to conceal.

I don't know if all these recent jet memes are people just joking around or are you people actually convinced private jets are the problem?

Taylor swift, and every single billionaire alive could be flying 24/7/365 OR NOT and it would make absolutely no difference to fighting climate change.

The main polluters are industry and farming.

All this other shit around are just distractions keeping you from actually going after the people that are causing our crisis.

I don't know if it's astroturfing or what, but it seems like it's deliberate manipulation to keep people inactive.

You memeing on Tylor or using wood straws, or recycling your soda can does fuck all. A single paper plant will dump out so much co2 and pollution that will negate the effort of millions.

A lot of it is political at end of day.

Taylor Swift is looking to be a supporter of the Democratic Party in US, so the Republicans are running targeted attacks on her to reduce credibility as the election is coming up.

It's nothing new but just be aware that people posting these memes may just be bots/paid marketers essentially.

Well, none of that matters anyways when China now emits almost twice as much CO2 as the US and is basically single-handedly not just absorbing all the rest of the world's reduction efforts, but increasing the global output enormously.
