Downvote this man and his factual statement!!!

The popular comments are all about how recycling is a scam to allow plastic companies to continue creating plastics.

But mushy straws isn’t even about recycling. You’re literally removing a plastic that people use all the time. Sounds like a win no matter what.

My number one pet peeve:

hey here's one some concession we can do to make the planet slightly better.

Most people in the US:

if it doesn't t solve all of our problems 100% I'm not going to think about doing so. What it only makes life slightly better for us? Nope fuck that it means I have to be slightly inconvenienced for it, I'm not willing to do that. Come back when it'll fix everything 100% and then I'll find more excuses to why I don't have to change.
