OtterSurvey finds that 60 firms are responsible for half of world’s plastic pollution
venusaurDon’t worry about these big guys. The straws are gonna save the planet.
TrickDacySaid no one ever.
People so mad about straws act like you cannot possibly work against a problem in more than a single way.
maynarkhThe problem is we are not trying multiple ways. We only try the ineffective ones to avoid trying the effective ones.
Banning straws (generally, single-use plastics) as well as non-attached bottlecaps is the most effective way to keep EU beaches clean. They had a look at what’s out there and those were the big offenders that could be addressed so they’re doing it.
…also the only bad thing about those silicone straws I bought is that they’re too short for bottles. It really is the ideal material for the application.
Yeah, the beach nearest to me just had a coal power plant reactivated last year. Nothing we can do about that though.
Is that coal power plant producing plastic waste or are you perhaps talking about an entirely different problem that need to be addressed by separate legislation?
