    I mean sure, but also why add to the issue. The more people on board with quiting plastic use the more companies have to adapt to better solutions, and can help bring awareness. But politicians in kahootz with big corp makes real change almost impossible

      Because it makes my life easier, and doesn’t meaningfully contribute to the problem. Plastic use on this side of the grocery store does nothing to influence its use on the back end. It’s a lot easier to convince the public not to fight for regulations when you make them think that they’re making a difference by not using disposable straws and plastic grocery bags.
