I’ve always been bothered by the lack of quantification of impact. If this is really an issue we care about we want to identify the worst behaviors/products and reduce those first. How many plastic straws is starting up a car, etc? How many car starts is an industrial office AC?
Too often this response is met with moral language: “everything counts, you don’t to help?”.
As someone who has travelled in India, Indonesia etc. the plastic straw BAN in Sweden is just absolutely laughable, add to that the new EU-innovation with retard-plastic-lids on every bottle.
I mean - I'm all for reducing the need for oil and the amount of waste.. But jesus christ get a grip on what's useful and what's borderline contra-productive.
