Look, all I’m saying is that straws probably aren’t the #1 source of discarded plastic, and it seems like focusing on one thing like that results in more performative than substantive change.
Ah yes, the good old, “It’s not the #1 problem so why bother doing anything”. It’s that wonderful kind of attitude that simply doesn’t get anything done, ever. Because there’s always a bigger problem.
The only ones focusing on one thing like plastic straws, are people like you. The rest of us moved on
I just love how you think I’m presuming too much, only to in the very next sentence assume I think removing plastic straws being the end of the road and final solution.
And since I according to you, presume too much, did you want me to spend less energy on, literally, making straw-men (plural), like, scare-crows? Or did you mean that I should spend less energy on figuratively, straw-manning.
I would assume the latter but you are, literally, formulating the former. Either way. I’m not doing either of those things.

Jesus, you presume too much.
Point to where I said not to do anything. My whole point was not to just stop at straws and find more ways to avoid plastic.
Maybe spend less energy on literal strawmen.
