Something tasting nice isn't a good reason to subsidize a destructive industry.

There's less harmful and still great tasting alternatives.

Trees are nice, we should have more trees everywhere.
Planting trees isn't gonna solve the climate crisis and shouldn't be sold as a solution like it sometimes is.

Probably not no, flying really does emit a shit ton

Having to register to be able to vote is so silly to begin with.

"The 50-year-old is at least the fifth environmental campaigner to be jailed on tax evasion charges in the last two years as Vietnam’s authoritarian government steps up a crackdown on activists."

Seems legit..

We can probably assume that microplastics are everywhere at this point

Go vegan

More empathy == not caring that people are needlessly killing animals for taste pleasure?

Why would losing the empathy be the next step?

It's not just the eating behavior of others, it's needless killing of living beings purely for enjoyment, that's not something that should just be accepted.

If everyone went plant based we would need much much less farmland and thus need way less fertilizer.

You're a silly goober aren't ya?

???

What are you even trying to communicate?

So what you're saying is.. just one more lane?

Calm the fuck down bud, I said nothing ableist at all.

You said "You personally not using something, doesn't mean others don't" and the whole tone of your comment sounds like you're against getting rid of straws.

Yes straws isn't single-handedly destroying the planet but not giving out needless plastic with every drink is still good.

Yes some people will still need straws, no one said "FUCK DISABLED PEOPLE, NO STRAWS FOR YOU" and when talking about general problems and solutions like this we all know there will be exceptions.

Bringing up fringes cases and making it sound like a general counter argument is silly.

And no I don't eat sea food or any other animals and yes I tell other people to stop too :)

huh?

Because food/restaurants/quick stops currently give out straw we can't make them stop giving out straws? That makes no sense lol.

Please stop bringing up fringe cases when talking about general problem, they could still have straws but the default is no straw, people that need it ask, or people that need straws could bring their own straws.

It's silly to use this to justify a straw coming with every drink ever.

Chevron is extremely evil

Eh, there's been thousands upon thousands of expert yelling about this for decades and no government listened,

climate change is benefiting younger generations how exactly?
