It’s hard to tell if that’s a misinformed jab at plastic straw bans or you’re deliberately drawing attention to the misconception that the ban is due to global warming.
Either way, in a time of misinformation it’s worth clarifying:
“The main reason cited for eliminating plastic straws is their negative impact on our oceans and marine wildlife. Plastic in the ocean is a huge problem — look no further than trash island, or the viral video of a turtle suffering as a result of ocean pollution, to understand that. But of all the plastic that ends up in the ocean, straws make up only four percent of that waste.”
