    I’m convinced shit like paper straws is just to turn people against saving the planet.

    The fucking straws aren’t great, but the real problem has always been the oligarchs and corporations.

    So they come up with stuff that won’t help, but will get people pissed at climate activists.

    Shit’s so obvious but no one ever talks about it. It’s the same principle as means testing, divide and conquer

      The straw is the last thing I tend to worry about getting the sorta carbonated water that doesn’t have enough syrup in it so you’re basically drinking carbonated municipal water supply with some chemical colorants.
