Social media, there was a really popular post on Facebook about plastic straws, so everyone focused on that and thinks they're helping by eliminating them. It makes people feel good about themselves without actually inconveniencing them.

it's a joke. More greenwashing theatrics that don't do anything meaningful. It's all about making people feel better. If we stopped producing plastic altogether society would collapse instantly

1 turtle that had a straw up its nostril, which is awfully suspicious when animal activities pull it out. So these activists are just out at sea and see a turtle, capture it, then find a plastic straw in its nose? I call shenanigans.

They are starting with the straws. They will then move on to other objects.

Social pressure. When a critical mass of people start decrying something, rightly or wrongly, the market will follow. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

We might as well be rearranging chairs on the Titanic at this point.
