None of which is being done by people who actually care, it's just trying to pander to voters or put their own profits above the wellbeing of the people. Plastic straws make up 0.02% of all plastic waste in this country, and we've contributed at most 2% of all the plastic waste in the oceans. The United States is not the problem here, but manufacturing in China where there's far fewer labor and environmental restrictions is cheaper the way the global economy is set up, so instead we let them produce our pollution for us too.
