  • I knew I should have avoided the comments... The fact that defence of this bullshit ban still endures (and in the literal face of its failures) frustrates me beyond words.

    • The plastic straws also contain PFAS anyway so paper still may be marginally better, but it’s definitely money and time that could have been better spent on a different environmental initiative. I’m happy to see plastic bags go, though. Can’t win em all
