    You don’t need to explain anything, I fully understand the angle. It’s just bullshit and you bought the lie.

    Every single American could stop using plastic straws tomorrow, and the outcome would be negligible compared to what would happen if a single fossil fuel corporation shut down.

    Any real, viable solution to climate change necessarily begins with corporate regulation. Their effect on the environment is several orders of magnitude higher than any other group. To the point where the damage they do completely overshadows any possible good that individual humans could ever do.

      Plastic straws isn’t to fix climate change. It was a solution to help reduce these straws from ending up in the environment and causing impacts to marine life. It did accomplish a reduction in risk to marine life and all it took was being an adult and buying your own reusable straw.

      You bought the lie

      You’re right about corporations need to make the change. But your wrong about the rest
