Dont use plastic straws, drive public transport or bike, buy bio food, donate to orgs, glue yourself to the street
and maybe... just maybe... you will change fuck all
Plastic straws have almost zero to none impact on climate change. It is one of the biggest virtue signaling campaings that managed to scam shit ton of gullible people. Climate change is a never ending process, those who can alter the process have way bigger means to affect it than you and me. Regulate the companies, end the "too big to fail" market monopoly, tax the shit out of billioners. Dont fall to their diversion strategy that we are to blame for any of this shit.
I love how McDonald's went from paper cups/plastic straws to plastic cups/paper straws in my area.
Mine stopped using straws for a bit and gave a special lid that made it easier to sip your soda. That didn't last long, we are now back to plastic cups and plastic straws.
