I don't use straws, for one, but I do find it a little weird that we used to be like "save the rainforest!" but now are cool with burning that shit down as long as we save the sea turtles.

But I also think it's a dumb fucking narrative to be like "well the other kids do it so I should be able to do the same!" Which is basically what I hear from people who blame China or whatever for all of the world's problems. You can do better. Just because they're shitty isn't an excuse for you to be shitty.

It makes a marginal difference. But, actually, yeah. Like, let's say your town has a problem with teenagers stealing shit from a major store that keeps lots of people employed. You know it's mostly the local gang of "bad kids," but your kid is sneaking in and stealing shit too, just not as much. It might be saving you some money because you don't have to buy toys or whatever the fuck they're stealing, but wouldn't you smack them upside the head and tell them to stop stealing shit?

I mean, I'm guessing from your perspective, you're probably just going to go into the store and steal too, but maybe there's a shred of doing the right thing left in the world.

Not to make this overwhelmingly political because I don't really give a shit, but that's kinda the issue. You don't give a fuck as long as you get yours. That seems like a kind of conservative position, where you just wanna make money right now, and who the fuck cares about the future or anyone else?

I dunno, my ass is gonna be dead long before "global warming" or other environmental issues actually have an affect on humanity, but I still don't really wanna fuck up the sea, eat microplastics, have my kids live in a disaster world, whatever.

This is the biggest fucking meme ever. Plastic does not get recycled, even the ones marked for recycling gets thrown in a landfill 90% of the time, because recycling is uneconomical. Doesn't matter which country it is, the plastic just lands up somewhere and leaches microplastics into the ground or water.

The plastic industry wants you to buy more shit that they are not legally responsible for the disposal of.

The most ridiculous part is that they don't even ban plastic cups which use more plastic than the straw. A paper cup with plastic straw uses less plastic than a plastic cup with paper straw, and it's better to use too. Not to mention the fact that paper is more expensive to manufacture and many times less efficient to ship. The policy is explicitly an attempt by liberal businesses and cities to be trendy and appear environmentally conscious without actually doing jack shit.

It varies in my area. I live in South Florida, so there are plenty of towns that mandate it since they're along the coast. Since my town is the last one before entering Bumfuckistan, they haven't made it the law despite a few restaurants acting is if they're morally obligated to.

That being said, one of the local burger chains has found a way around it by having straws made from agave, which has a similar texture to plastic.

I'm okay with paper straws, but it's really annoying how people uncritically believe that less plastic is automatically better for the environment.

The only advantage of avoiding plastic is if it would end up in nature. So it may make sense for fast food, because people love to litter when they finish their food. But if the plastic can be assumed to be treated properly, it's much better for the environment than the alternatives.
Plastic releases almost no CO2. Paper is much worse. And if getting rid of plastic causes more food waste, you're like increasing CO2 emissions by like x1000 compared to whatever, it's not a comparison but the CO2 from food is enormous so if getting rid of plastic that would end up in the trash anyway causes even a tiny increase in food waste, it's extremely bad for the environment.
