The US government is eschewing paper straws and going back to plastic. So why are the plastic variety restricted in many countries around the world in the first place?

    Oh common, are we really circling this discussion forever?

    We need to reduce burning fossil fuels, everything else is nice, but doesn’t really make a dent in the graphs.

      You are totally right saying:

      We need to reduce burning fossil fuels

      Still, we live in a triple planetary crisis, which includes 3 issues:

      • climate crisis
      • biodiversity loss
      • garbage/pollution

      Please, do keep in mind that these issues intersect and this is why they need to be tackled in the same time.
