You drive a car. You drive your car to a location where you can buy food that you want to eat in another place. You do not bring a reusable container. You do not keep single-use yet reusable stuff for later. You buy a drink that comes, for whatever reason, with a straw. So I'm not sure how much we gain by banning plastic straws of all things. This in itself will not move any relevant metric into the right direction. But maybe, just maybe, starting with the small and everyday stuff we can wean us off the addiction to plastic. A mere 70 years ago there was virtually no plastic in use for any purpose. Think of that. Nowadays we demand our bags, straws, and yoghurt cups be made of plastic, because what else? And we put plastic to use in insane applications, like the grass trimmer you rightly mention. One might add plastic insulation foam that you are these days more or less required by law to wrap your entire building in (at least in Germany), even if it's an old house with 40cm thick brick walls. This are uncounted millions of cubic meters of plastic foam that is now being finely diluted over the entire country. If and when this society should collapse or degrade much of that plastic will as time passes come off and be blown all over the place like toxic snow. This law is always being asserted as being necessary "for the climate", "for the environment". From that point of view I can only agree that we're living in an insane society. But then again you own and drive a car that you use so you can eat at home without cooking at home. You're part of the puzzle I'd say, like the rest of us.
