This continually grinds my gears. We can’t have plastic straws, yet, serving my milkshake is served (with the fundamentally broken paper straw) in a clear plastic cup, which could easily have been a paper cup. I can’t have a thin (sub grams of material) plastic bag for my greasy takeout to protect my car seat, so I have to buy the “reusable” plastic bag (multiple 10s of grams of material) only to throw it in the trash the minute I get inside. My country does a great job collecting plastics, only to ship them off to be dumped in the ocean by third-world countries. Grass trimming string was not banned.. How insane is it that I cannot use and then properly dispose of a straw, but it’s entirely fine for me to literally grind hundreds of meters of plastic into microscopic particles and release them into the environment, no questions asked?
