OK here's the elephant in the room - China produces about a third of all pollution. I wanna say over half of ocean pollution comes from 10 rivers in China. In other words - China affects this whole thing more than anyone else in the world. And they're not far away from being more than the rest combined. So now look at a family who uses some product like straws or plastic forks. Is it a huge inconvenience for them to stop? Probably not. A little obnoxious, but they can obviously handle it. But now the question they ask is why are they inconvenienced as another party (China) is doing so much more? Why do they have to sacrifice while someone else is the bigger issue? And before I get yet another accusation that I'm anti climate change or whatever - I'm not. I'm explaining a very obvious reason why this is always an issue. It's because people don't like a scrimping and saving while their neighbor doesn't have to. If the green people can't get that through their heads then this debate will never be constructive.
