    Wow, where to begin…

    A, we have plenty of evidence to support plastic being bad for humans, and the entire planet.

    B, we can chew gum and walk.

    C, what did you think not manufacturing plastic straws would do? Reduce manufacturing.

    D, if you don’t make it political, then it’s not political. It’s just reducing plastic waste.

      A. You have just made a positive assertion that is easily proven and presented no studies, I’m waiting.

      B. we absolutely cannot walk and chew gum at the same time attention is the modern currency.

      C. Removing plastic straws did not reduce plastic manufacturing and it wasn’t supposed to reduce the manufacturing of plastic.

      D. I honestly don’t know what your point had to do with mine? Something about it be political? My point was that it’s simply a way for oil companies and heavy plastic users to reframe it as the every mans problem you know the people who can not stop it.

        The fact that you can’t walk and chew gum because you lose focus makes me wonder of you need to stop to breath. It definitely seems you were oxygen deprived for extended periods of time.

        I don’t expect you to understand that.

        A, Jfc, it’s 2025. Use a search engine. Even use AI ffs, “why is plastic bad for humans and the environment?” Do you think the earth is flat, too?

        B, you can’t, we can.

        C, I guess if it’s not all or nothing, there’s no point eh?

        D, yes, morons are very susceptible to “the war on <thing>” and make it their entire personality.

        We need to use less disposable plastic products. Look at the ocean, it’s filling with our trash. Most of that is plastic.
