You’re talking about two different ways to screw the environment. One is the rampant plastics pandemic, the other is carbon emissions. Paper straws are meant to combat the first, not the second.

Where do these mushy straws reside? I'm not one to get fast food or go to restaurants very often but it's always plastic.

In California. I carry around a silicone straw all the time now because I want a straw that fucking works at being a straw.

A lot of the new plastic straws are compostable where I live.

Don’t use a straw at all; it’s less waste and more convenient

Name one time we solved a systemic problem through individual action. You solve systemic problems with systemic solutions.
