The reason people started the get rid of Staws movement was because of a meme. The Save the Turtles meme to be exact. and guess what your "green" objects have in them too, NON-RECYCLABLE PLASTIC!
I wasn't aware of that but if that's the case then we should get people to make fully green objects.
@9G39YDLConservative1yr1Y
Some, but not all, some companies have put plastic in their products and called it bio-degradable and recyclable, while others have went and done 100% We should have a non-biased company or the federal governments food services ministry inspect and qualify those who actually make their products environmentally friendly.
the "save the turtles" trend was not a meme but instead, one of the first times a social and environmental issue had been made widespread across the internet. If you were not looking carefully and seeing the more profound message, it might be easy to see it as just another meme trend. However, everyone was very serious and it was just made popular through new ways like social media instead of through the news or protest like some other environmental issues.
@9G2NV5C1yr1Y
The quote you guys put is really grammatically incorrect and weirdly formatted. What's up with that.
@9FW2CHV1yr1Y
No because paper straws are terrible and we can have plastic stuff just dont litter or things like that
@B3P2W9J4wks4W
no one likes cardboard straws, they just rip and tear. or even wooden forks, because it takes the taste away from the actual food I'm eating, I taste the wood more then the product.
@B3N63HZ4wks4W
Plastic is convenient yes, but with a few lifestyle changes, you can really reduce your usage. With the information coming out on the impact of microplastics once they enter our bodies, I would hope people would be self-interested to make changes.
@B2Y4YCBConservative2mos2MO
Plastic lids, and wrapping are all still very prominent and allowing us to use plastic utensils would not change much and they are way better for eating.
@9NGYNHC10mos10MO
Unless companies are willing to spend money on alternatives for plastic products that work, it’s no use to waste more reusable products.
@9LXYYRN11mos11MO
Nobody likes paper straws or wooden forks tell me I’m wrong like not tryna get a splinter in my mouth
@9H4W2CP1yr1Y
yes, because think of it if we have plastic lids but yet we dont have plastic straws what difference is it making that my salivas not on the lid
@9GQSWPK1yr1Y
we are banding plastic straws or other plastic products as if that makes a huge different impact and as if all the famous people dont fly out somewhere that is less then 30 mins away.
@9FV8LKFConservative2yrs2Y
The plastic typically used in bottles, bags, and food containers contains chemical additives such as endocrine disruptors.
@9GGH43D1yr1Y
Biodegradable products actually emit more carbon when produced than plastic products. Paper products (like straws), are less effective as they begin to decompose while still in use. This often requires individuals to use more than one item, which defeats the purpose of paper products.
@9GBCVLJ1yr1Y
well when we use plastic we use it for bottles bags straws and ect.. if we banned platistic then we would ue paper cups which is really weird if ur getting a slurpee or a drink from a fast food resurant.
@9G7DMZ71yr1Y
The same thing will happen which occurred years ago, we will end up switching back to plastic again because it’s killing the trees.
