Well, it's not that much of a problem for me, I just buy the "multi use" ones and use them a single time.. It's just silly, it makes me feel annoyed, because of this, I'm throwing away more plastic than I'd otherwise have.
Also, they pose a safety risk as they are hard and will cause much more damage to mouth and teeth than the softer ones if I stumble while using them.
The problem with plastic in the oceans is very real, not so much because a lot of single-use plastics are made, but because pretty much all plastic is not being properly disposed.
Re-usability may be low, but burn it hot enough and pollution is not a problem, if we did that in developed countries, we can do it responsibly while generating energy much needed for heating purposes.

Plastic isn't being shipped around the world to be dumped in the ocean, it's being dumped in the ocean by people fishing on the ocean. To reduce plastic in the ocean, stop eating fish. 0. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/hazards/marinedebris/plastics-in-the-ocean.html https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/hazards/marinedebris/plastics-...

Blame the take-out people for not taking care of this planet. Or blame yourself for being willing to polute the only livable planet known to humankind. For a milkshake.
