Like I get the rest, but everytime someone brings up the paper straw argument they seem like an asshole.
Not only because the reason wasn’t directly tied to climate change (it was because straws in the ocean would choke animals etc), but because it’s still something positive for the environment. Like yeah eliminating the rich would obviously be better, but complaining about the straws is still complaining about getting to do something good.
It kinda still makes it sound like you’d act no differently like a billionaire does in regards to pollution of you had the money, because if switching to paper straws is THAT annoying to you after all these damn years, why wouldn’t you be the kind person who takes a private jet instead of a short drive?
Like, it’s something you and the ultra rich probably both complain about, even though it’s something good for the environment. Think about that.
It was a joke and you make a lot of assumptions on someone you dont know.
I don’t mind paper straws. I don’t mind taking the train or public transport instead of a car or plane. I don’t mind paying more for green energy. But I complain about the ultra rich not carrying their fair share. They do not care at all, even though their footprint is bigger than mine and yours combined will ever be, and that is very frustrating to say the least.

Its another marketing method to shift responsibility to the consumer. Like the carbon footprint. How are straws getting in the ocean anyway
