While I think I agree with the straws and plastic bags (it's hard without actual data), I do wonder whether reducing plastic packaging on a large scale would not have a significant effect as well. Close to a decade ago I moved from Europe to the US. I did, and continue to do, perceive how much more plastics my groceries are packaged with. This is especially egregious for things that you buy in bundles, where each individual item is wrapped in plastics again. Also, cheese for example seems to be packaged with plastics a lot more than, say, paper. In order to solve the problem, it's probably more important and effective to address the larger sources first, though. Prioritization.
