    You know, if we could just get them to stop packaging things like an SD card in 3 layers of clamshell packaging I could let this slide. There are a lot bigger targets than this, unfortunately those bigger targets won’t be addressed in this administration, particularly if doing so means less profit for the offenders.

      Honestly forget the environmental impact just do it for the consumer. It is hated by pretty much everyone.

    We’re all such buffoons. McD’s in my area changed to an all plastic cup with a flip-open top so we wouldn’t need straws (so we can waste more plastic?!?!?) but for some fucked reason still always hands a plastic straw with the drink anyway, and hasn’t changed back to paper cups, presumably because people complained.

    Fuck off, humanity.

    Ngl, paper straws are dumb af. Big oil will get their plastic made with or without straws.

    McDonald’s went from paper cups and plastic straws to plastic cups and paper straws. A net loss for the environment.

    Plastic straws are unequivocally better.

    Obligatory fuck trump.
