    It was obviously a cynical joke.

    Also, it’s not about the straws per se - it’s about that us everyday normies are being asked to change our ways to combat climate change and I’m totally in favor of that. We have to be more aware of our ways and where we can switch our behaviours to combat climate change.

    But all it needs is an ultra rich dude flying around in his private jet or spend weeks on his yacht driving around and all our efforts become meaningless.

    Change the little guy, for sure - but also grab the rich fucks by their balls as well. And so far nothing like that is happening.
